Danvers School Calendar 2017-18: First Day Of School, Vacations, Conferences

The first day of school in Danvers is September 6 for grades K-12 and September 11 for preschool. Feel free to mark it on your calendar as one of the most dreaded days of the year for students and teachers — and feel free not to feel guilty about marking it as one of your favorites. The Danvers Public School District has released its 2017-2018 calendar for public schools.
