Oneida Middle School

There have been a few incidents recently where children were approached by strangers on their way to or from school or while waiting for the bus. We want to thank the students who did the right thing by immediately reporting what happened, which allowed police to respond promptly.

Your child's safety is our top priority, and we ask that you take a moment to review and reinforce important safety habits with them. Please remind your child to always report anything that seems suspicious to a trusted adult, whether it's a parent, teacher, or police officer. Having these conversations can give them the confidence to respond safely in any situation.

Good Afternoon Timberwolf Families!
