Newton Schools Closing For Second Staight Day Amidst Blizzard

NEWTON, MA — Newton Public Schools will be closed for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, district leadership announced on Monday evening.

This comes as a major blizzard hits Massachusetts, with Newton and other neighboring communities receiving more than a foot of snow as of Monday afternoon. Snow began falling in the Bay State late Sunday night, and the storm ramped up in the pre-dawn hours of Monday, which also included fierce winds.

In addition to schools closing, the city-wide parking ban will also remain in effect. All vehicles parked on-street could be ticketed or towed while the ban is taking place.

"Newton Public Schools will be closed due to inclement weather, Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Evening activities after 5 p.m. may occur," Superintendent of Schools Dr. Anna Nolin said in a statement. "Principals and coaches/program leads will be in touch. Be good to your neighbors and help shovel sidewalks so we can all get to school safely on Wednesday morning."

Mayor Marc Laredo that trash and recycling collection is now on a two-day delay for residents.
