𝗪𝗠𝗦𝗖𝗖 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 & 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 Earlier today, the fire alarm at the ASB Exploratory Center (located at Williston Middle School Central Campus) was activated due to a small fire caused by a heating device used for baby chicks. WMSCC Parents and staff were alerted at 11:44 AM. Students and staff were safely evacuated to the Bakken & Coyote Center. The Williston Fire Department responded promptly and inspected the situation. Students are being educated in alternate settings at the Coyote Center and Bakken. The ASB Exploratory Center is still being assessed for safety, and no students or staff will return there today. ASB homeroom students can be picked up in their usual location, though they will not be inside the building nor be able to go inside the building. 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗠𝗦𝗖𝗖: We 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 be holding school for 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗠𝗦𝗖𝗖 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 tomorrow, and updates regarding the use of the ASB will be provided later today.
