Release of Information

 

Special Education

 

Great Falls Public Schools provides a comprehensive program that serves youngsters ages 3-21 who need individual educational services.  Depending on their needs, some students are fully included in general education with modifications and minimal support from special education staff. Other students are taught in the general education classroom both by special education and classroom teachers. Some students receive pull-out services; and finally, a few of our students spend half or more of their day in a special education classroom.  Our Special Education Department staff includes teachers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, paraprofessionals, psychologists, a vision and motor specialist, etc.

 

 

Extended Curriculum Services/Gifted Education

 

The Great Falls Public School District offers an Extended Curriculum Services program for students with advanced abilities.  This program provides opportunities that extend the regular core curriculum and allows students to learn at a pace, depth, and breadth that is commensurate with their abilities.  Extended  Curriculum Service teachers act as a resource for classroom teachers by offering collaboration and consultation concerning identification and differentiation, by providing pull-out and replacement class options and extensions for identified students and by managing individualized academic plans for those youngsters.
