Good evening,

I’m going to write a short posting tonight, as it leads to other information that I would like parents to please follow up on. Earlier today we were informed by the RCMP of 2 incidents that occurred downtown. We were told that school aged children had been approached by an individual (male) and offered a ride home from school. The children declined in both instances, however, we are asking that parents review the information and discuss the matter with students tonight. Myself and the students went over the information together and we discussed as a class the importance of not talking to strangers or getting into a strange vehicle. I know many of the students were feeling anxious about the situation. The official RCMP statement can be found at the following link and I would ask that you take the time to review the information:
