This is a message from WBSD7 School Board President, Chris Jundt: Dear Williston Basin School District #7 Community, This communication is to inform our Williston Basin School District #7 community of a modification to our Board meeting format due to recent disruptive incidents that compromised the safety and effectiveness of our in-person meetings. Regrettably, a few members of the community displayed highly unacceptable behavior during the last board meeting, leading to this necessary change. For the safety of all involved, the Williston Basin School District #7 Board meeting on January 22, 2024 will be conducted virtually, in accordance with NDCC 44-04-19. On the January 22nd Board agenda, the board will discuss the remainder of the meetings scheduled through June 30, 2024 and what needs to occur to return to an in person meeting environment that allows for the orderly conduct of business. Specific detail on how to join or view the virtual meeting will be provided in the notice as required by NDCC 44-04-20. We encourage everyone to review WBSD7 Board Governance Culture GC-4 and Policy BCAB, emphasizing our commitment to conducting meetings in an orderly and business-like manner, guided by Robert's Rules of Order. For those who wish to contribute their thoughts or concerns, we will maintain the option for public comments via electronic submission. Submissions will be read aloud during the public comment portion of the meeting, adhering to the existing guidelines for public comment. This allows for community engagement and ensures that your voices are heard, even in our virtual setting. While it's unfortunate that we needed to implement this change, our commitment to making decisions in the best interest of the district remains unwavering. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety and efficiency of our Board meetings. Sincerely, Mr. Chris Jundt School Board President WillistonSchools.org

𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 Ensuring the safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority at Williston Basin School District #7 (WBSD7). To enhance the protective measures in place, WBSD7 utilizes the Raptor Security System at all WBSD7 schools. raptortech.com Raptor Security is a visitor management system that is used to protect the students, staff, and visitors at our schools. The Raptor Security System reads the visitor's driver's license and compares that information to a national sex offender database. The Raptor Security system allows staff to implement an added layer of safety for staff and students. All schools in Williston Basin School District #7 utilize this system to enhance the safety and security at our schools. Upon arrival at a school, all visitors are asked to provide their driver’s license, at which time it will be scanned in the Raptor system. The system will print a visitor badge to wear during the visit. We thank you for your support in helping ensure the safety of staff and students. WBSD7 Policy KAA (Visitors in the School): ndsba.org/policies/willistonbasin/pdfs/KAAA.pdf The Board and District Administration encourage parents and community members to visit district schools to become better informed about day-to-day operations and observe the educational process. Because schools are places of work and learning, visitors shall observe the following requirements when visiting district schools, which are created to ensure the educational environment is not disrupted: 🔸All visitors must check into the front office with their Driver’s license/photo ID and wear a visitor’s badge for the entire duration of visit. 🔸Visitors shall comply with applicable state law and district policy/regulations while on school property. No person shall enter school property for unlawful purposes or for purposes unauthorized by the Board. The District shall enforce state law on willful disruption of schools. The Superintendent shall make a reasonable effort to keep the public informed about district policies pertaining to visitors such as, but not limited to drug, alcohol, and tobacco use; sexual offenders; patron grievances; and other policies designed to maintain order. 🔸Visitors are prohibited from engaging in disruptive conduct that is interfering or interrupting the orderly operation/management of the District, or that is insulting, harassing, or threatening toward district personnel. Visitors who engage in such conduct will immediately be asked to leave school property. 🔸Solicitors are not permitted on school property except when authorized in accordance with state law and/or applicable district policy. 🔸Visitors shall be prohibited from videotaping and/or otherwise electronically recording district students and staff. This policy does not apply to visitors electronically recording school-sponsored events not governed by copyright laws and non-school-sponsored activities and events held on school property. The Board may also create an exception to this policy for members of the press. 🔸Public visits to classrooms shall not be for the purpose of evaluating teachers, teaching methods, or curriculum. Visitors who wish to observe a classroom shall schedule their visits in advance according to administrative regulations. Visitors shall agree to follow this policy and any administrative regulations governing classroom observation prior to receiving classroom observation permission. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding of our commitment to safety. By adhering to these procedures, we collectively contribute to the well-being of everyone within the WBSD7 community. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your cooperation in making our schools safe spaces for learning and growth. Sincerely, WBSD7 Administration Questions: communications@willistonschools.org WillistonSchools.org #wbsd7

Dear WBSD7 Community, We are pleased to share the success of our recent staff and community forums regarding the potential establishment of new schools within our district. The forums, titled "Shaping Tomorrow: Your Ideas Matter Today," were held at Williston High School, with separate sessions for staff and community members. The engaging agenda featured a presentation by RSP & Associates, highlighting the insightful results from the "new schools survey" and crucial information on the proposed bond. Following this, breakout sessions, led by school principals and administrators, provided a platform for fruitful discussions. Last week, we distributed an event overview, including the presentation by RSP & Associates and the discussion questions used during the forum.

Last night we held our Reading is SNOW Much Fun Family Literacy Night. This was sponsored by our PTO and also served as a Title 1 Family Engagement Night and a Family Literacy Night. We had SNOW much fun and served about 25-30 families with a night of holiday and literacy activities. Together the Garden Valley PTO and Garden Valley staff provided a fun night for the families. As families arrived they were greeted by some "reindeer," who may have been less than impressed to have grown holiday antlers! However, they sure were cute! Families were able to to enjoy a pizza supper and stop by the hot chocolate bar for a sweet treat. There were various activities set up around the school as well. In Building 7 there was a candy cane craft provided by PTO and Mrs. Leda and Mrs. Manzanas led a How to Catch a Snowman STEM activity where families had to build a trap to catch a snowman. In Building 1 there was a holiday photo booth where Ashley Raad took family pictures with a holiday backdrop. On one end of the hallway the kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Haugen and Ms. Johnson led a snow writing activity where students were able to write their letters and/or sight words in shaving cream. On the other end of the hall, the 1st grade teachers had various literacy activities where students were fishing and playing games. To top it off, a special snowman was in the library media center reading to everyone who stopped in! How many times can you say you have heard a snowman read you a story?!?! The students enjoyed the book, How to Catch a Snowman. If you were in attendance last night or if you are a Title 1 family, watch for this book to come home with your child in the coming days with some bonus literacy activities to complete as a family! Thank you to the Garden Valley PTO for their hard work on this event. Thank you to the local pizza establishments, Little Cesars, Pizza Hut and Dominos, who donated or discounted pizza for us. Special thanks to Young Bucks for donating the cups and lids for the hot chocolate bar. Thank you to all the staff who stayed late to provide a night of fun literacy programming for our school family. Most of all, thank you to all the families who took time out of their busy schedule to come to the school and be involved in your child's/children's education! Please watch for our 2nd family night in the second part of the school year. We had SNOW Much Fun!

Today we had our November School Family Grizzly Gathering. As always we started with our Brain Smart Start and the students sang a new school family song. They did such a great job. I wish I could post the video here, but I am unable to due to FERPA. We noticed those who had had grateful hearts in November as gratitude was our SEL word of the month. We took some time for some December silliness with some teacher Minute to Win It Games. Mrs. Heser drew staff members names out and they could play or pass. All chose to play! They were blindfolded and had to fill a bowl with holiday bows using only a spatula. Ms. Adriana, our new 3rd grade para and Mrs. G were the winners! The students loved it! Finally we wrapped up by noticing those who had been problem solvers in November and the students sang their Turn Back Time song that is about turning back time and learning to solve your problem in a better way. I love all the skills that our Grizzlies are learning and using to becoming respectful and responsible Garden Valley Grizzlies.
