Full List of Massachusetts School Closings & Delays for Tomorrow — Check Your District Now

A fast-moving winter storm is forcing dozens of school districts across Massachusetts to cancel classes or switch to remote learning for Friday, March 6, 2026. Forecasters expect 3–5 inches of heavy, wet snow north of Boston, with a dangerous glaze of up to 0.2 inches of ice possible in Worcester County and the Berkshires, creating treacherous roads for the morning commute. Worcester Public Schools led the way by announcing a full snow day late Thursday evening, and many central- and western-Massachusetts districts quickly followed. Early Friday, MassLive’s continuously updated list showed more than 120 public systems and private academies either closed or on a two-hour delay, including Springfield, Pittsfield, Leominster, and Amherst-Pelham. Boston, Cambridge, and most South Shore districts are monitoring road conditions and could issue decisions before 5 a.m. Parents looking for real-time “school closings MA” updates should: • Check their district’s official website or robocall system. • Follow the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and local DPW accounts on social media for plow progress and parking bans. • Use regional media closings pages such as Boston 25’s Closings & Delays center, which refreshes every five minutes during weather alerts. Why so many cancellations? Meteorologists say a classic “March mixed bag” storm is colliding with sub-freezing ground temperatures left behind by this week’s arctic blast. Snow will transition to sleet and freezing rain across interior valleys before ending as light drizzle late morning. Even small amounts of ice can snap power lines and make sidewalks slick, prompting superintendents to err on the side of caution. Travel Tips for Friday 1. Give plows space and postpone non-essential trips until noon, when treatment crews expect major routes to be mostly wet. 2. If you must drive, clear the entire car of snow and carry an ice scraper, phone charger, and extra blanket. 3. MBTA commuter rail and bus riders should anticipate scattered delays; check the Transit app before leaving home. Looking Ahead The National Weather Service forecasts a brief warm-up this weekend, so most accumulated snow should melt by Sunday afternoon. Another weak clipper could brush northern Massachusetts early next week, but long-range models currently keep significant additional “snow day” threats at bay.
