An eighth grader that goes to Grand Avenue Middle School was approached by a stranger in a sedan Wednesday morning, according to an email to parents from Principal Carlo A. Conte.
The student was walking on Grand Avenue when an "old beat-up green four-door" sedan pulled over.
"The driver appeared to be a Hispanic male in his mid-twenties with black hair and short facial hair," Conte said. "He began waving the student over to his car and then rolled down the window."
At that point, the student returned home and told parents about the incident, and they called police and filed a report.
"Please take a moment to review safe practices with your child (walking in groups, being aware of their surroundings, etc.)," Conte added. "Thank you for being a partner in your child’s education and safety."
