Wareham Public Schools will be closed Monday, Feb. 9, according to school officials.

This will be the sixth snow day this school year for Wareham Schools.

Superintendent Kimberly Shaver-Hood has previously said there are five snow days built into the schedule, and schools will be responsible for making up any other days out of beyond those five days.

"If we do not use the built in days, they are deducted and we are able to finish our school year earlier," said Shaver-Hood. "By law we must complete 180 student days and the school year must be completed by June 30."

She said the process is not unique to Wareham and is practiced across the state.
