ATTN 🚨Wells High School friends/families🚨:
Today, 10:13 pm (EDT)
Dear WOCSD Parents/Guardians and Faculty/Staff:
We apologize for the timing of this message, but this emergency event just occurred.
Wells High School had an issue with a malfunctioning Kiln in the Art wing this evening. The heat produced caused the fire alarm to sound, and activated the safety sprinkler system. Due to the extensive water released, the Wells Fire Department has recommended that Wells High School be closed on Thursday June 11th.
The State Fire Marshall needs to conduct an investigation and the building needs to be thoroughly cleaned to prepare for students to return.
There will be no school or final exams at Wells High School tomorrow, Thursday, June 11th.
Further instructions and an updated final exam schedule will be created and sent out to WHS students and guardians.
There will be no impact for either Wells Junior High School or Wells Elementary School, as school will run as scheduled in those buildings tomorrow.
Please know that the safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our highest priority, and we will continue to be vigilant in these areas.
