Infinite Campus Grade Reminder
At NPHS, we recognize that students may be occasionally absent from their classes. Teachers at NPHS will enter assignments as “Missing” in Infinite Campus when students have the ability to make up their work and will enter a “Zero” if work is no longer eligible to be turned in for a grade. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about grading procedures for a specific class.
Handbook & Trojan Tips for Success
During the first week of school, NPHS Administration met with all students to review school expectations and the NPHS Student/Parent Handbook. We encourage you to review our handbook and plan ways to use the "Trojan Tips for Success" we reviewed at the beginning of the school year:
- Demonstrate respect for yourself, peers, staff and environment.
- Take an active role in your learning.
- Attend all classes on a daily basis.
- Be responsible and accountable for your own actions.
- Display a positive attitude toward learning.

Dear NPHS Families and Students,
NPHS has had a great start to the school year and we would like to thank our students for making positive choices and our families for supporting them. Homecoming 2026 is scheduled to begin Sunday, September 20, 2026, with Powderpuff Football being our kick-off event. This week is a great opportunity for our communities to come together and celebrate our New Prague Trojans!
During our student meetings at the beginning of the year, we emphasized the importance of committing to "The New Prague Way." We will always strive to Do What's Right, Commit to Excellence and Show People You Care in all areas of our school, including our fan sections. We expect all students and fans who attend NPHS events to engage in appropriate behavior at all times. We will continue to cheer for our students rather than bring our opponents down and hope to see large fan sections at all of our home events.
We encourage you to discuss the fan expectations that are linked below with your students to promote positive decision-making both on and off campus this year. Thank you for your partnership in making the 2026-2027 school year a positive experience filled with growth for all of our students. Sincerely,
Brian Thorstad
Principal
New Prague High School

NPHS Visitors Check In Process
We value having visitors at NPHS to engage with the wide variety of events that occur on at NPHS on a daily basis. We ask all NPHS visitors to bring their Drivers License or other form of identification as part of our check in procedures. Thank you for your continued assistance in providing a safe and secure learning environment for our students.
Literacy Assessment Screening
As a means of supporting student literacy and complying with Minnesota’s Read Act legislation, New Prague Area Schools has developed the following screening process to inform teachers of student strengths and areas of need. Grades K-3 will use screeners from the Fastbridge suite of assessments including aReading and earlyReading assessments. In Grades 4-12 a two step process is required. An initial screener is used to determine those students reading at or above grade level (Screeners include: 4-8 aReading, 9-12 ROAR). As per the READAct, students not reading at grade level must complete the Capti Read Basix assessment. Fall screening will take place within the first six weeks of the school year. Following the fall screening process, families K-12 will be informed if the results indicate additional reading support. If you have any questions about this process, please contact our District Literacy Lead, Rachel Szybnski, at [email protected].
Health Office Reminder
Please remember to have your child visit Ms. Tisdel, NPHS Nurse, before leaving school due to illness. Our school requires students to check out of school via our Health or Main Office prior to leaving NPHS in order to maintain accurate attendance records and a safe, orderly school environment. Thank you for your assistance.
