In the past few weeks there have been several incidents in Box Elder County involving a stranger approaching elementary age c hildren. This person is described as a male with a beard and is said to be driving a silver or gray 4 door car that has writing or stickers on the door. The person is said to have offered children candy to entice them to his car, or has told children that he had been sent to pick them up by their parents. We encourage parents to talk with their children and instruct them how to act if they are approached by a stranger. We also encourage all
students to report immediately any suspicious behavior that they witness. Local Police agencies are increasing patrols around schools, especially before and after school. Law enforcement encourages that you report anything suspicious to them.
At Box Elder High we have the following policies to help ensure your student's safety:
All students are required to check in and out of school through the office
Visitors are required to check in at the office
Teachers will not allow unidentified persons to have access to their classroom
We have a Brigham City police officer on staff and on campus
On-going safety training in faculty meetings
In addition, this year at BEHS we are locking additional outside doors to limit access to our students.
