Safety Alert to All MC Families

2010-09-03

Students and Families: The following is an alert issued by the City of San Rafael School District and pertains to safety issues we should all be aware of:

September 2, 2010

Dear San Rafael City Schools Families:

In an excess of caution, we want to share with you information provided to the District by the San Rafael Police Department. On Wednesday afternoon, September 1, 2010, the San Rafael Police Department informed the Superintendent of three reported incidents involving female teenage students being approached and/or followed by an unknown male adult. None of these reported incidents were near any of our schools, with two occurring over the past weekend.

Incident #1 – On Saturday, 08/28/10, at approximately 5:15 p.m., a 15 year old female was followed in a vehicle in the area of Second St. and “B” St. The driver waved the female towards the vehicle and asked her if she would get into the car and go to the city with him. The driver was described as a dark skinned male in his 60’s. The driver was wearing a baseball cap and driving a silver Honda CRV.

Incident #2 – On Saturday, 08/28/10, at approximately 6:15 p.m., a 14 year old female was approached by a male who asked her to get in this car in the area of 360 Third St. He got out of the car and stood outside. When the juvenile walked past, he followed her around the block and left only when scared away by her friends. The driver was described as a Hispanic male in his 40’s, driving an unknown colored pickup truck with matching camper.

Incident #3 – On Tuesday, 08/31/10, at approximately 5:00 p.m., a 13 year old female was followed to her home in the vicinity of the 300 block of “D” St. After she entered the residence, the subject loitered out front for approximately 5 minutes before leaving. The subject was described as a White male, unknown age, muscular build, mustache, 6 feet tall. No associated vehicle.

With these recent incident reports, and as we start school, now is a good time to remind our students about the importance of personal safety.

Please take a moment to talk with your child about these important safety reminders. It is important to prepare your children, while at the same time not frightening them. You don't want to make your children paranoid, but you must prepare them. Talk about safety openly and without fear. Go over the dos and don'ts with them.

* Do not walk alone but walk in groups of two or more
* Never get into a vehicle with a stranger-fight, shout, scream, kick, bite, run and tell
* Never take anything a stranger offers you - do not accept candy, food, money, etc.
* Do not walk alone in the dark or go alone into places where there are few people around
* Remain on school grounds during school hours
* Immediately tell responsible adults about any suspicious activities or people encountered to or from school and give as many details as possible

Student safety is a top priority for both the District and the City of San Rafael. We appreciate your help and attention in creating and maintaining a safe community for our students. If you have additional information or have questions, you can contact the San Rafael Police Department at (415) 458-5319, or you can call me at school (415) 492-3100.
Sincerely,

Lars Christensen Michael Watenpaugh, Ed.D.
Principal Superintendent
