Dear Parents or Guardians:
The safety of our students is the number one priority at Jack and Terry Mannion Middle School. As always, we want to keep you informed of important matters happening within our school community.
Two students recently reported that they were approached by an individual on the way home from school.
The situation has been reported to the police and they are investigating. The students were not physically harmed. This incident serves as an important opportunity to remind our parents and students of safe practices when walking to and from our school.
The following are reminders that will help you discuss safety with your child.
- Walk in groups to and from school.
- Never take rides from strangers.
- If you are approached by a stranger, keep a safe distance and think of a direction to run if needed.
- Shout and yell as loud as you can.
- Never give out your name or address to people you do not know. This is especially true on the Internet.
- Run to a safe place, i.e., school, church, store, etc.
- Always let your parents or guardians know where you are. Take the same route to school every day.
- Be sure you know your parents’ full names, addresses, and phone numbers.
- If possible, get a license plate number.
The safety of our students is of the utmost importance. Please report any suspicious activity to the local police department and/or school administrators. Students and parents can also make reports through the SafeVoice reporting system by calling 1-833-216-SAFE (7233), through the website at safevoicenv.org or through the free downloadable phone app. Or call CCSDPD dispatch at 702-799-5411 for immediate attention.
Thank you for your assistance. Please do not hesitate to call our office at 702-799-3020 should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Todd C. Petersen, Principal
