Prague Schools is in a mask mandate until February 1. We will revisit the issue at that time. Students, staff and visitors to our campus should wear masks at all times in common areas, on buses, in the halls, in groups, in indoor facilities such as the gym or auditorium, or when social distancing is not possible. We understand that this is not a fix all but is an effort to keep staff and students safe and to continue with school and activities. The recommendations by the State are listed below. Currently we are in the red level. Mask exemptions and accommodations are also listed below. If a mask is not an option for your child please talk with your building principal about our virtual option. Thank you for your patience as we work together to stay in school and keep our community safe.
Students don't have to wear masks on recess/athletics unless they are in groups sitting, standing or talking for more than 15 minutes.
Students don't have to wear a mask in line to the cafeteria/music/PE (they are in line less than 15 minutes)
If a class is small enough to social distance 6 ft., they can pull the mask down while at their desk, if not, the teacher will give plenty of mask breaks for all ages
Students do not have to wear masks while eating and can leave the table as soon as they are done eating
PreK Students do not have to wear masks during naptime
See the guidance below for special education students
