(Rachel Nunes/Patch) DANVERS, MA — A pile of snow predicted for Thursday won't necessarily mean a day off for Danvers Public Schools students. With Danvers Schools switching to remote learning as of Thursday due to rising coronavirus and staffing concerns, the district will keep all students in a remote learning day in place of a traditional "snow day" should this week's storm warrant school closures across the state. "We provided an update at the school committee (Monday) night and will provide remote instruction on 'snow days,'" Danvers Superintendent of Schools Lisa Dana told Patch. "We also updated our school calendar back in September to reflect this change."
