Another Stranger Incident Reported in Merrick

The driver attempted to communicate with the students and the students wisely ran away. The children are safe and a police report was made.

Editor's Note: The following notification was sent to the North Merrick School District families on Friday, April 19. 

Right after dismissal today, three sixth grade students, were walking home near Fraser and William Streets when a 4-door grayish car with a male driver approached.

The driver attempted to communicate with the students and the students wisely ran away. The children are safe and a police report was made.

As a result, we expect that there will be a police presence in the immediate area.

Please use this opportunity to discuss basic safety protocols with your children. Also, immediately contact the police if you see this vehicle or see anything else that compromises the safety of our children. Thanks and have a safe weekend.
