WYANDOTTE, MI – Wilson Middle School will remain closed on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, as a precautionary measure amid a suspected Norovirus outbreak. The decision comes after several students and staff members reported symptoms consistent with the highly contagious virus.
The Wyandotte Public Schools district announced the closure late Tuesday, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring the health and safety of students and faculty. “We take any potential health risks seriously and are acting in the best interest of our community,” said a district spokesperson.
Norovirus, often referred to as the “winter vomiting bug,” is known for causing gastroenteritis, leading to inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Symptoms typically include vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, which can spread rapidly in communal environments such as schools.
In light of the situation, health officials are urging anyone experiencing symptoms to stay home and seek medical advice. The district has also advised parents to monitor their children closely for signs of illness.
Staff will use the closure as an opportunity to conduct thorough cleaning and sanitization of the school facilities. The district is coordinating with local health departments to monitor the situation and will provide updates as needed.
Officials are hopeful that this proactive step will mitigate the spread of the virus within the Wyandotte Public Schools community and allow students to return safely. Parents are encouraged to check the school district’s website and social media channels for further announcements.
