An East Ward parent reported to school officials today that a man in a dark SUV or van tried to entice her child to come to his vehicle yesterday about 3:40 p.m. The student reported that the man offered the student a bicycle to come to the vehicle. The student did the right thing – he ran back to the school and got away from the vehicle. I wanted to alert all parents about this incident and to urge parents to help us keep every student safe by asking students to always report to the school any time someone threatens their safety in any way. The safety of every student every day remains our very highest priority.”
