This is Jason Miller, principal of Wicomico Middle School. I want to take a moment to share information regarding a minor situation that occurred late this morning in a classroom. We want to assure you that we are committed to keeping our families informed and maintaining a safe learning environment for all students.
Staff reported smoke in a first-floor classroom at about 11 a.m. The source of the smoke was quickly identified as a piece of equipment that malfunctioned, releasing a brief burst of smoke. At no time was there a fire or ongoing smoke. Out of an abundance of caution, the fire department was contacted to assess the situation and confirmed that the room was safe. During this time, the school was placed on HOLD so students would remain in their designated locations while the fire department assessed the situation.
Please know that the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We appreciate the quick response of our staff and the Wicomico County Emergency Services personnel who assisted us in ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
Thank you for your continued trust, understanding, and support of Wicomico Middle School.
Jason
