December 16, 2015 (La Mesa) – Parkway Middle School e-mailed a safety alert to parents advising that at 8:20 a.m. yesterday morning, two Parkway students were approached by a Hispanic man in his late 30s, wearing a gray beanie and driving a rusty blue work van. The students were walking on Dallas Street near the fire department.  According to the notice to parents, the man waved to students and wanted them to come over to the van, but the students ran to the school instead.

La Mesa Police Department has been notified.  Parents are urged to discuss safety procedures with your child if they walk or ride a bike to school.  If a student is approached by a stranger, they should run to the nearest safe location and notify both police and the Parkway Middle School office.
