Weather-Related Closures, Cancellations

By WYDaily Staff Thursday, September 30, 2010

Heavy rain and the threat of flash floods prompted several school divisions to postpone the start of the school day today. Since the rain hasn't let up much, many after-school activities have been canceled or postponed.

Williamsburg James City County public schools have canceled or postponed many activities as well.

There was supposed to be a lot going on today – cross country, field hockey, volleyball – to name a few sports - but the weather has made for other plans. All after-school sports practices for York County public schools have been canceled today, as have the games. If you have a student-athlete, make sure to pay attention to email, which is how you’ll learn about rescheduled events.

Hampton Roads Academy has also postponed after-school contests set for today – teams were to have traveled to Nansemond Suffolk for volleyball and field hockey.

The Warhill-York field hockey game has been postponed to Friday, Oct. 8.

And in middle school action, Tuesday’s football game between Hornsby and Yorktown that was postponed because of weather has been rescheduled to Tuesday, October 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Hornsby field. Today’s girls basketball games for all public middle schools have been postponed, with new dates to be decided.
