It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I share news of the death of an 8th grade student at Reagan Middle School and a freshman student at Dixon High School as a result of a car accident on Saturday. We are deeply saddened by this loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families. We know that a student’s passing is a difficult experience for family, friends, staff, and community.

DPS #170 is deeply disturbed and saddened by the incident that occurred on school property yesterday. School and District administration along with law enforcement, upon becoming aware of the incident, took appropriate steps to initiate an active investigation of the incident as expressly provided by Board Policy. We value deeply the safety, security, and equity of all of our students. DPS #170 has policies and procedures in place to address the investigation of such incidents and bullying and violence will not be tolerated. Due to the confidentiality requirements of Federal and State law, the District is unable to offer further details at this time.
