MARLBOROUGH, MA — Superintendent Michael Bergeron has canceled school in Marlborough on Friday ahead of a snowstorm expected to drop 6 inches or more in the city.

Bergeron made the no-school announcement on the district's app around noon on Thursday.

"There are no remote learning expectations, this is a traditional snow day," he said in a message to parents. "To minimize the disruption as best we can, I want to allow you time to plan childcare options for tomorrow."
