Dear Parents/Guardians:
Tuesday afternoon, January 5th, the mother of a fourth grade female student who attends Lamar Elementary School reported an incident to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department. The student’s mother has shared this report with CISD administrators and police officers. The student reported that after getting off of her bus at approximately 3:15 p.m. and walking through the Mission Wood Apartment complex on Borough Park Drive, a man in a ski mask grabbed her arm and her backpack.
The girl was able to break free and ran to a nearby apartment unharmed.
The man has been described as approximately 5’8”, wearing dark clothing, with a Hispanic accent.
We would like to remind parents to discuss safety with your children.
Safety reminders to discuss with your child include:
Students
- Don’t talk to strangers.
- Try to stay with a buddy.
- If someone attempts to grab you, scream, yell, run, or make noise to alert bystanders and report it to an adult immediately.
- Run to your house or a neighbor’s house that you know.
- If there is a police officer in the area, tell the officer what has happened.
- Immediately report an incident to the local law enforcement (911).
Families
- If you see suspicious activity, try to observe and report license plate numbers, a description of the vehicle and person.
To report suspicious activity, contact both the Conroe ISD Police Department (936) 539-0507 and the local law enforcement agency.
