The Brandon School Division has issued a safety notice to parents following a report of a suspicious individual approaching a student on their way to school. The incident has been reported to the Brandon Police Service, and school officials are urging increased vigilance from families and the community, the division stated in an email sent to parents.
“The safety and security of students is of utmost importance,” the division said. “At this time, we request that you remind your children about the importance of personal safety and being aware of their surroundings. The Brandon School Division office on Sixth Street.
(The Brandon Sun files) “Should any suspicious activity be observed by your children or yourself, we ask that you notify Brandon Police Service and school administration at the earliest opportunity.” The division is also directing families to personal safety resources available on its website and at individual schools. These materials offer practical advice for children, such as recognizing that strangers can appear friendly and harmless but still pose a risk.
Children are reminded never to accept gifts, food or rides from someone they do not know, and to leave the area quickly if approached by a stranger. Parents are encouraged to have open conversations with their children about staying safe. Teaching personal safety, setting clear boundaries and staying involved in a child’s daily activities are key strategies recommended by the division.
Maintaining strong communication and awareness of a child’s social interactions and online behaviour also helps ensure their well-being. » The Brandon Sun Advertisement.
