Great Falls Public Schools officials say that there is no school that has the capacity to take in all of Lincoln's students, so they have created short- and long-term plans to keep teacher teams and same-age students together while relocating campuses.

The current relocation plan is:

  • K-2 Grade will move to Longfellow Elementary School
  • Grades 3–4 will move to Lewis & Clark Elementary School
  • Grades 5–6 will move to Paris Gibson Education Center
  • Mrs. Ferradas room will move to Meadowlark Elementary School

GFPS will host parent information meetings in the gym at Paris Gibson Education Center on Tuesday, March 10 at the following times:

  • Grades 5-6: 4:30pm to 5pm
  • Grades 3-4: 5pm to 5:30pm
  • Grades 1-2: 5:30pm to 6pm
  • Kindergarten: 6pm to 6:30pm

We will update you as we get more information.
