Due to icy road conditions, all WBSD7 schools will start 2 hours later than normal on Monday, January 24, 2022. Schools will begin 2 hours after their normal start time, and buses will run 2 hours later than normal for pick up in the morning. School will dismiss at its normal time.

We would like to remind families of the policies we are following per our Return to In-Person Learning Plan related to COVID-19 positive individuals:
Positive COVID-19 Diagnosis
ISOLATE: Stay home and away from others for at least 10 days after symptom onset and be fever free for 24 hours (without the use of medications) and have improvements in symptoms. If asymptomatic (without symptoms) isolate for 10 days beginning on test date.
If you have COVID-19, you must self-isolate regardless of vaccination status, previous infection, or lack of symptoms.
Recently the CDC updated their COVID guidelines for isolation time for positive individuals, however, at our recent school board meeting, it was decided we would continue with our current plan.
For more information and to read the plan, please visit our District Website https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1413803/1.7.22_Amended_Return_to_In_Person_Plan.pdf
A message from our Athletic Department:
Effective immediately, we are going to pause all high school wrestling practices and duals until January 18. We will not be participating in the Miles City Tournament or Sidney Tournament. We are taking this time to try and mitigate the continuing spread of illness that we are currently facing. We do not like doing this, but we feel this in our best interest to keep our wrestlers healthy and allow us to participate in the Fargo Metro Duals next weekend. We have opened a testing window for your student athlete to be tested, if you would like that opportunity. The testing window is today, January 12, from 2-4 pm. To utilize this, you must have a parent/guardian register the athlete using this link: https://testreg.nd.gov/
If you have any further questions regarding testing, please email Lynn Douglas at lynn.douglas@willistonschools.org.
With the unfortunate increase in violence, threats, cyberbullying, and disruptive social media “challenges” in schools throughout the country, the Williston Basin School District #7 would like to take a moment to remind families and students that our District takes a zero-tolerance approach to any misconduct of this nature. Please see the attached notice from the Interim Superintendent, Lori Olson, and the Director of Student Services, Wyndy McGinley.
