Dear Parents and Guardians,
There is nothing more important than the safety of our students and staff. With this in mind, we are writing to you today to share some information from Durham Regional Police regarding three separate reports of young females being approached in the Highway 401/Simcoe Street area of Oshawa by an unknown male driving a newer-model silver vehicle.
You will find a description of the incidents and of the suspect on the back of this letter.
At school today we will be reviewing safety tips in an age appropriate manner in all classes. Considering the recent concerns expressed, and the increased outdoor activity for everyone in the summer months, this is an opportune time to review general safety tips with your children. To assist you, we have compiled a list of safety guidelines for you to review with now and any time of year. Please discuss the following suggestions with your family so that safe strategies are reinforced.
Safety Guidelines:
1. Always walk with a buddy to and from school.
2. Do not talk to strangers.
3. Inform your parents and the school if a stranger approaches you.
4. Remember, adults do not ask for directions from children.
5. Always let your parents know if there has been a change in your plans.
6. Avoid taking short cuts through fields and parks.
7. Never walk alone, especially at night.
8. Be aware of your surroundings when wearing earphones.
Please take a moment to review these tips with your child(ren). Our communication continues to be the key to our success. Together, we can keep our school and community a safe environment for our children.
Sincerely,
S. VanDriel

SUBJECT: Oshawa Girls Being Approached by Unknown Male
Durham Regional Police are investigating three separate reports of young females being approached in the Highway 401/Simcoe Street area of Oshawa by an unknown male driving a newer-model silver vehicle.
On Thursday, June 18th officers from 17 Division were called to the area after a 13-year-old female reported being approached by a lone male in a vehicle. The 13-year-old female was alone and walking on Albert Street after leaving her friend’s house on Bloor Street at approximately 8:30 p.m. She said she was approached by a newer model grey vehicle which began following her. The vehicle sped up and slowed down to keep pace with her as she walked on Albert Street. When the vehicle got close, the driver would roll one of the windows down to try to speak with her. At one point the vehicle stopped and put on its four-way hazard lights. The young female became concerned the male was going to exit the vehicle, so she went to a nearby home and the vehicle drove away.
This female told investigators about a friend with a similar experience. Further investigation revealed a 12-year-old female who was approached at approximately 6 p.m. in the parking lot of a Tim Horton’s on Simcoe Street South. The male got out of the car and offered the female money to accompany him. She refused and the male grabbed her hair. She was able to break free and run away.
Further investigation has revealed another similar incident took place in the same vicinity on June 3rd, 2009. In this incident, a 13-year-old female was approached by a lone male in a vehicle while she was walking on Wilkinson Avenue. The male rolled down a window and asked her to hop in. She refused and the male drove away.
In all three instances, the suspect is described as male, white, about 6’ tall, approximately 40 years old, with short brown hair (possibly a brush cut), unshaven face and crooked teeth. The vehicle is described as a newer model four-door silver passenger car.
Anyone with information as to the identity of the vehicle or the suspect is asked to contact the Sexual Assault Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5318 or ext. 5324. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

@ The O’Neill Library
Mrs. Humphrey and Mr. Scanga invite all O’Neill students to visit the library before school, at lunch or after school. The library contains thousands of print resources along with 30 networked computers for student use. Every year, grade 9 students attend an orientation lesson in the library, to learn what resources are available and how to access them. The Library’s September home room contest focussed on the Summer Olympics and Paralympics. October’s contest was based on Canadian Library Month. Winning home rooms receive a box of mini donuts.
All students should be aware that library loans are 3 weeks in length. After that time, students receive overdue notices in home room, and are expected to return or renew the resources. Overdue charges are incurred for resources not returned on time. Students are asked to remember that the library resources are public property and should be cared for responsibly. If there are any concerns and/or questions regarding library resources, please direct them to Mrs. Humphrey.
We would like to express our appreciation to those students who volunteer in the library. Because of their efforts, the library is able to run more effectively. Library helpers assist with the processing of new books, creating displays, and shelving resources that have been used by classes.
All students are reminded of the on-line resources which can be used at home.
