Mrs. Otten's preschool delivered May Day baskets to the builiding today!
Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD #3 Families,
It is with deep sadness that I share the loss of one of our students as a result of the tragic accident that occurred today. This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts go out to the family and all who are grieving.
As a district, we are committed to supporting our students and staff during this incredibly difficult time. We will have counselors, social workers, and area ministers present tomorrow (May 1) at the 6–12 campus to provide comfort, guidance, and a space for students to process this tragedy.
Please take time to talk with your child, as students may respond in a variety of ways and may need additional support in the coming days.
The district will not be releasing the student’s name at this time.
Please keep the student’s loved ones and our school community in your thoughts and prayers.
Heidi Lensing, Superintendent
Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD #3 Community,
We are aware of a serious accident that occurred in our community and understand that one of our students was involved. We are limited in what we can say at this moment and will be providing more information as it becomes available.
Please keep all those impacted in your thoughts and prayers.
Heidi Lensing, Superintendent
