Snow Day Danvers: Trash Pickup Delayed, School Sports Canceled

DANVERS, MA — Danvers Public Schools are closed on Friday for the first snowstorm of 2022.

The district said Thursday it was canceling school with up to 8 inches of snow expected in Eastern Mass.

Because the state is not counting any remote learning days toward the required 180-day in-person learning requirement this year, the district will have an old-fashioned snow day.

"This will be a traditional snow day with no remote learning," the district confirmed.

Town offices are also closed for the employees working remotely. They can be reached via email or phone call. A list of department contact numbers and emails can be found here.

The Danvers Department of Public Works said Friday morning that all trash and recycling pickup for Friday will be delayed until Saturday.

Danvers Public Schools said that all school sports games and practices are canceled for Friday.

The state is also closing all "Stop the Spread" coronavirus testing sites on Friday. The Salem walk-in site at St. Peter's Church and the drive-thru site at Salem High School will both be closed.
