With heavy hearts, USD 344 mourns the tragic passing of one of our beloved students.  This loss is deeply felt across our school community. He was a valued part of USD 344, and this passing is a profound sorrow for classmates, staff, and all who knew him.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that our community keep the family in their thoughts and prayers and respect their privacy as they grieve.  USD 344 will be providing counseling and support services for students and staff tomorrow at 9am in the commons of the school.

On behalf of the entire USD 344 family, we extend our love, thoughts and prayers to his family throughout this difficult time.
