Isle of Wight and Surry county schools, and Isle of Wight Academy, will close for a second consecutive day on Thursday, Jan. 23, due to icy road conditions.

Wednesday’s snowfall  left roughly an inch of accumulation and brought temperatures that never rose above freezing.

“Due to the condition of roads throughout the county, and the continued freezing temperatures, Isle of Wight County schools and offices will remain closed on Thursday, January 23, for all students and staff,” IWCS announced Wednesday evening. “This includes all after-school and evening activities. SOL testing for middle school students scheduled for tomorrow will occur on Friday.”

Surry County Public Schools issued its own statement Wednesday evening, which states schools will be closed to students on Jan. 23 due to hazardous conditions on secondary roads and low temperatures. All 11-month and 12-month employees are to report at 10 a.m., Surry’s statement reads.

IWA issued a statement Wednesday evening instructing students in grades 3-12 to log into their Google classrooms for short assignments on Jan. 23.
