COVID-19 Information Center
Per the Governor’s Executive Order 20-82, COVID case data, and in consultation with the Minnesota Department of Health, the New Prague Area School District will start the 2020-21 school year in a hybrid model for grades K-12. Our hybrid model for K-12 students is a combination of learning both at home and at school. This is the first step in helping all of our students return to school safely.
Within our hybrid model, one half of our K-12 students will be placed in Group A and the other half in Group B. The Hybrid @School schedule will be Mon/Tue for Group A and Thu/Fri for Group B with alternating Wednesdays. On days students are not present in our buildings, they will receive learning activities to complete during their Hybrid @Home days.
Those students who have registered for distance learning will follow the school calendar with full-time learning at home. Under Executive Order 20-82, any student may opt-in to distance learning at any point during the school year.

Please refer to the Return to School Guide for Parents for specific information regarding our health and safety protocols, academic learning models and technology support. This is a fluid document that will be updated on a regular basis.
