Here is a "Stranger Danger" notice sent out from Humble ISD concerning an incident that occurred near Atascocita Middle School last week.
"We want to inform you of an unusual occurrence near our campus. A sixth-grade student reported a white Dodge truck has driven by on numerous occasions as the student was walking to school on Leisure Place between Dempsey Oaks and Walden Forest. The student reported that the driver of the truck has honked, waved, and even yelled at different times as he drove by.
The driver is described as a dark-skinned male in his 30s with short hair, wearing glasses and a reflective fluorescent green or yellow vest. The truck is described as a white Dodge lifted high off the ground with chrome wheels and a loud motor.
Please keep in mind that this man has not stopped or approached the student. However, we felt that we should keep you informed about his presence.
This is a good opportunity to review the following safety tips:
- 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.
