Governor Bullock Extends School Closure

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

Today, Governor Bullock has directed that all schools will continue emergency closure through April 10, 2020. As directed by the Governor, a plan has been developed by Colstrip Public Schools to ensure students will receive educational services, food services and special services outline by the IDEA. Please be patient as we continue to communicate any changes that will take place with the latest Governor directive.

Educational Services During COVID-19 Emergency School Closure

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

This is a reminder that Colstrip Public Schools will continue to provide both breakfast and school lunch for all students through Friday, March 27, 2020. Both meals will be provided at the same time. In-town students may pick meals up from 7:45 AM to 8:15 AM at the activities entrance of Frank Brattin Middle School. Students will not be allowed to enter the building.
Out-of-town route bus students may pick their meals up at their regular morning bus stop at the regular morning pick-up time. Please be patient as bus meal delivery may delay the regular scheduled bus stop. To assure your meals are available for pick-up, please call the following number 406-748-4699 ext 3400 by 9:00 AM the day before to confirm.
Our goal at this time is to follow the Governor’s directive and prepare for delivering educational services beyond March 27, 2020 if needed. Some teachers are already communicating student needs to parents and loved ones.  Moving forward we will attempt to identify students that do not have internet access to provide alternatives to electronic services.
The District is encouraging all students to pick up their Chromebooks at their earliest convenience. Elementary parents must sign for their child’s Chromebook before it is checked out. Chromebooks can be checked out at your child’s school during the day. The District will also be providing Chromebook check-outs Monday through Friday for all out-of-town students at their regularly scheduled morning bus stop at its regularly scheduled time. Once again, elementary parents will have to sign the checkout before the Chromebook is distributed. We ask that all students' Chromebooks are picked up regardless of whether there is a home alternative or not. Student educational content will be pushed out through Chromebooks if school closure continues after March 27, 2020. Thank you for your cooperation during this difficult time. Stay safe and healthy. Thank you.
