We would like to let everyone know that Governor Bullock has extended school closures across the State of Montana through April 10, 2020.

We will continue our off-site/distance learning opportunities for all our students - please check your school's webpage for more information.

We will also continue to provide lunches Monday through Friday for all children ages 1 through 18 at the designated locations, as listed below:
Garfield: 11:00-11:20 am
LJHS: 11:30-11:50 am
FHS: 12:00 am-12:20 pm

PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: Per CDC guidelines, for the safety of our students, staff and community, please practice social distancing and refrain from gathering in groups on school property during the duration of the school closure. This includes recreational use of all school playground facilities, basketball courts, tennis courts, track and field facilities, parking lots and other outdoor meeting areas. Individual use by parents along with their children is allowed.

Dear Parents and Guardians:
At this time we are postponing our Kindergarten Screening dates scheduled for April 1st and 2nd. We will look at rescheduling the screening later in the spring to ensure we have all our incoming kindergarten kids placed in classes for this fall. This is just a precaution to ensure the safety and welfare of our staff and all families involved.

If you have questions please contact Garfield School by phone, (406)535-2366, or email Mr. Lewis at mlewis@lewistown.k12.mt.us
