Williston Basin School District #7 takes the safety and security of our students and staff very seriously. Recently, our School Board passed board policy KAAB, School Volunteer Program. This policy states that anyone who wants to volunteer in our schools during the school day must submit to, and pass, a background test. While we understand that this may cause an inconvenience to some, we feel strongly that this policy is in the best interests of student and staff safety.
For those of you who want to volunteer with events such as classroom parties, field trips, assisting with carnivals, fairs, field days, reading days, lunch in a classroom (not in the gym or lunchroom), etc., please contact Barb Erickson (701)572-1580 ext. 01012 or barbara.erickson@willistonschools.org.
The school board has also passed board policy KAAA, Visitors in Schools. For the safety and security of everyone, those of you who want to visit our schools during the school day as spectators to watch assemblies, talent shows, programs, concerts, or to have lunch with your student in the gym or lunchroom, will need to have your current photo I.D. scanned at the front office and receive a visitor badge to wear during your time in the building.
We appreciate your support in helping to keep our students and staff safe. If you have any questions, please contact your building administrator, or the Superintendent.

October's SEL Word of the Month: Compassion
October is World Bullying Prevention Month. To kick it off, we are encouraging all staff, students, parents, and community members to wear BLUE on Monday, October 4, 2021, to show support and make a statement against bullying. This is the first of several anti-bullying activities we have planned in our district.
We would love to see our communities' involvement and support. If you would like to share photos of yourselves or your students wearing BLUE on Monday, please email them to communications.specialist@willistonschools.org. *By submitting photos, you are giving authorization to WBSD7 to post those photos to their websites and/or social media feeds.

An anonymous threat was received at the Williston High School today. Administration immediately took the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of students, staff, and anyone present in the building and has been working closely with the Williston Police Department who are onsite. Please be assured that administration and the Williston PD are working together, have ensured that the High School is safe, and are continuing to thoroughly investigate the threat.
Come join in all the Homecoming fun this Friday, October 1st!
