Timberwood Middle School: September 19, 2018

Dear Timberwood Middle School Parents,

I wanted to make you aware of an incident that was reported to us this morning.

Yesterday (Tuesday, September 18) at approximately 5:10 p.m., a seventh grade male student was walking home from school after a club meeting. As he passed in front of the CVS on Timberwood Forest Drive at Atascocita Road, a woman in a large, dark-colored Chevrolet truck honked at him twice and motioned for him to "come here." He ran across Timberwood Forest Drive into the ACE Hardware store. The woman drove through the ACE Hardware parking lot and then left. The boy then proceeded home safely and without further incident.

Humble ISD Police have been notified and are investigating.

This is a good opportunity to emphasize the following safety tips with your family members:
Walk to and from school in groups.
If anything unusual occurs, tell an adult immediately. Time can be critical.
Never talk to strangers or accept rides from them, even if you are stranded. Call a trusted adult for transportation.
Be proactive: tour the neighborhood to identify safe and dangerous circumstances and places. Arrange for immediate access to neighbors or other trusted adults who could be contacted in an emergency.
Don't panic. If you are afraid or have a problem, call a parent or a trusted adult.
Never tell people at your door, phone callers, or online that you are home alone.
Keep your house key hidden. Don't give it to anyone and don't keep it in a visible place that would tell people you are going home to an empty house.
Never get into a car, enter a home, look for a lost pet or person, or accept food or items from an adult, unless your parents know what you are doing or have identified that person as a trusted emergency contact.
Tell a trusted adult - parent, teacher or counselor - if anyone ever makes you feel uncomfortable.

Please continue to encourage your children to report any concerns to our school staff, Humble ISD Police (281-641-7900) or through the Humble ISD iHelp app. By working in partnership, we keep our school safe and students focused on learning.

Thank you for discussing these important points with your child.

Sincerely,
 
Ken Buck, Principal
Timberwood Middle School

It's sad when you can't offer kids a ride....out of the rain or in this heat. It's a different world.

True story:
 
I was a stay-at-home dad until our youngest started kindergarten. I started working part time then to keep some free time open for helping at her class/school as a "room mom." I also drove a big GMC conversion van. On several occasions, worried moms would call the school or talk to staff about "..some creepy guy in a van is hanging out at the school watching kids." This ended on the day that we were having a party at the school and a couple of the moms were telling a group of us about the "creepy van." We all went outside to check it out, and immediately I realized they were talking about mine. Emoticon
