Hello everyone, We were asked by the Health Department to remind everyone to be diligent with cleaning. There is now community spread with the Norovirus.

Due to a growing concern for student safety, and an increase in near miss accidents, Lincoln Elementary School is making changes to the Student Drop Off and Pick Up process. Beginning Tuesday, April 6th Lincoln school will be implementing a plan to create a safer pick up and drop off system for our students. We identified several ways to improve the system to ensure students are not crossing in front of traffic and the buses are not turning into the student pick up area. Starting Tuesday, April 6 buses will now pick up and drop off students on Power Street, by the gym. Parents and guardians we ask that you please come up Valentine and drop off your students. Valentine and Taylor will be reserved for student pick up and drop off only. We would appreciate it if you would drop your student off on the passenger side of your vehicle so that they do not have to step into the street. Please do not drop off in the front of the school building before 8:00 am. If you do need to drop off after 8:00 am please come up S. Nowlan Street so that the passenger side of the vehicle is at the curb. We are concerned about students getting out of their vehicle in the middle of the street and crossing in front of oncoming vehicles. This information, including maps and directions, will be posted on the GPS District website as well as the Lincoln School website. We will have staff on duty Tuesday if you have any questions about this new system. Safety is our number one concern and we believe this system will provide a safer way to drop off and pick up our students. ***Note: We will have new stop signs in place on Tuesday Please pay attention to the change in signs, as well as the new traffic pattern.

On Monday, November 30, 2020, Glendive Public Schools will be moving to the restricted model for all grades 1-12, which means students will be attending school onsite Monday through Thursday. Kindergarten will remain in the A/B Hybrid model at this time. Our staff is excited to see all of our students back in the buildings. As this is a change for everyone, we would like to highlight a couple of things to make this a successful transition. *Face coverings - Face Coverings will be required to be worn all day in all areas on campus (Hallways, Classrooms, Bus, School Events, etc.). GPS will be providing 2 more cloth masks per student. *New Bus Schedule (Starting Nov 30th) https://rb.gy/rd1ibp - Please click on the link to be taken to the new GPS Bus Routes for the Restricted model. Please note all changes to your bus route. Also, as a reminder: GPS busing is only for students who have been using the buses in the Hybrid model. If you would like your student to ride the bus, you will need to contact Mr. Phipps at the bus barn (377-4055) to assure that there is a seat available. *Release Times - Please note that JES release time has changed and is the ONLY school with a new release time. JES - 2:30 LES - 3:00 WMS - 2:46 DCHS - 2:46 *Drop-off Times - We ask that parents do not drop their students off before 7:50 at each of the schools. *GPS Restricted Checklist (https://rb.gy/w256qs) - Please click on the link to be taken to the GPS Restricted Checklist that has more information about the move to the Restricted model.
