[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A message from SHERWOOD HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Guardians:

This message is to inform you about an incident that happened in our community on Thursday, September 15, 2016. The Montgomery County Police Department has issued a press release indicating that an assault occurred in the Olney/Sandy Spring area http://www.mymcpnews.com/2016/09/16/detectives-investigate-rape-of-teenager-in-sandy-spring-area/ . The police are investigating the incident. Anyone with information about this assault is asked to call the Special Victims Investigations Division at 240-773-5400 or Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).

The safety and security of our students is paramount. Please take this opportunity to remind your children of the importance of remaining alert, the procedures they are to follow when approached by strangers, and to report anything suspicious to you, a staff member, or the police. Additionally, review safety practices at home:
* When walking to/from school, never walk alone. Always walk with at least one friend; two or three is even better.
* If a stranger follows you on foot, get away from him or her as quickly as you can. You can run and yell, “HELP!”
* If a stranger offers you a ride, say “NO!” and stay far away from the car.
* Never leave school with a stranger.
* Tell a trusted adult if a stranger is lingering on school property.

As always, thank you for your cooperation and support.

Sincerely,

William M. Gregory, Principal

According to the link, the incident happened between 7 and 8 am yesterday!  WTF?

Why can't the princicpal bring himself to use the word "rape" rather than just call it an "assault?"[/quote]
