Don't miss out on IMPORTANT alerts from South Prairie School District via our school app! Make sure you follow these steps and sign up for alerts from "South Prairie School District" AND any school that applies to you.
It is important that you select "South Prairie School District" because any alert that is for the entire school will be sent that way. However, there are times where alerts are only applicable to one group that we don't want to have to send to everyone, so also mark the school that applies to you.
For example, if your child is in elementary school, you should make sure "South Prairie School District" and "Elementary School" are both checked.
*Important alerts for the whole school are also sent via text message (main contact number listed during registration), email, and on the school website and social media pages.
Effective 8/31/20: All students will receive free breakfast and lunch. This will continue until further notice. Free meals are for students attending South Prairie whether in school or distance learning. If a student is a distance learner, free breakfast and lunch will be available starting Tuesday, September 8th.ย Distance learning families will need to contact the school if they would like to receive meals for their student at least one day prior.ย For distance learners, meals will consist of lunch for the day and breakfast for the next morning. The meals will need to be picked up at the school.ย
ย
All lunch accounts will be credited for meals purchased as of August 31st.ย ย Meal funds will remain in the student accounts for future lunch purchases when necessary. If students want an additional milk at lunch, they will need to purchase it. Only one milk is free.
We are looking for four people to run the chains for Thursday's junior high football game at 5:00 and for Friday's varsity football game at 6:00. Please call the high school office if you can help out!
Homecoming shirt orders are due by tomorrow at the end of the day! Please turn your form and payment in to Mrs. Cooper in the high school office.
https://www.south-prairie.k12.nd.us/o/spsd/page/homecoming-shirt-order
We are sending this message to notify everyone that a positive case of COVID-19 has been reported in the high school building (9-12th grade). If you have not already been notified, your child is not considered a close contact and you do not need to take any further action. This is an informational message to keep everyone updated.
As we stated in our smart restart plan, we fully anticipated there would be positive cases. School will continue to operate on Instructional Plan #2, with students and teachers in class and offsite students attending from home.

During this time of so much uncertainty, we have been waiting to ask for your ideas and concerns and opinions until we received more information and guidance from the state. As we make decisions toward beginning in the fall, we are asking your opinion in regards to what our restart may look like.
Our priorities are to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff and provide the best learning opportunities possible for our students.
Please know that your ideas, concerns, and opinions are deeply valued. We know that there is not a simple or perfect solution, and we are doing our very best to meet the needs of the students, staff, and community as we move forward with developing a plan.
Congratulations to the trap team for winning the 2020 ND ATA Jr Team State Championship! Great shooting boys!

Please know that your ideas, concerns, and opinions are deeply valued. We know that there is not a simple or perfect solution, and we are doing our very best to meet the needs of the students, staff, and community as we move forward with developing a plan.
Last March, Governor Burgum closed schools for in-person instruction due to concerns about COVID-19. He directed schools to serve their students via distance learning โuntil further notice."
The Governor amended his order on June 1st to allow schools to have summer school and to provide daycare as long as it was in groups of 15 or less.
We are in frequent contact with the ND Department of Public Instruction and the Governorโs office trying to find out what schools will be allowed to do in August.
Yesterday, the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction released the ND K12 Restart Guide. This is a guide for local districts to start the planning process for educating students this fall. Within the guide is the requirement to update our Offsite Learning Plan and Develop a written Health and Safety Plan with our local Health Department.
With the guidelines laid out, we will begin the process of rewriting our Offsite Learning Plan, as well as work with the Health Department on a Health and Safety Plan. In this process, we will be asking for input from parents and community members. Please keep an eye out for these surveys as your input is greatly needed.
We know how difficult this uncertainty is for many of you. Rest assured that as soon as we have brought our team together and worked through the ND K12 Restart Guide, we will communicate our plan to all of you. If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Here is a message from Mrs. Hiltner about library books that are checked out and the success of the pop tab collection:
This is the updated library list of books still checked out from the SP library and the bookmobile. Please check to see if you have books checked out and return them ASAP when lunches are delivered. The new total for SP is 122 books. Itโs getting better but we still have a long ways to go. Thank you to those who have already returned books. Much appreciated!
Also, here is a note from the Garrison ND American Legion & Auxiliary Post 49. South Prairie Royals are a part of this too!
โThank you and congratulations! Garrison Post 49 had the highest count for Pop Tab Collections 2020, with 93,312, or 57.06 tabs. Thank you to all the Garrison students who have brought in tabs, and for the community members who have saved for us. Great job. Since there will be no Department convention this is the count for the year. Our Department Children and Youth department goal is 1 million, so letโs get a good jump on that number for next year. All proceeds from the tabs go to the Ronald McDonald house and they really appreciate our efforts.โ

Update (March 30th): Instructional packets were delivered today! Students, make sure you read through everything and plan for what you need to work on for the week.
Students in grades 6-12, make sure you look at the schedule and check in to your classes on the correct days to be counted present. Your teachers will have a post for you to comment on or interact with to show that you have checked in for the day!
Any students in grades 7-12 who want to be on the golf team this year, please send an email to either Mr. Cooper or Miss Palczewski to be added to the golf group on Microsoft Teams. We are going to send activities and exercises for you to work on at home. Then, hopefully we will be able to get on the course and have some tournaments soon!
Update (March 29th): We are excited to start week 2 of Distance Learning! Last week, teachers asked students to connect with them and get started with some basic assignments. We saw great participation from a majority of students and families! Those who havenโt made contact online will be contacted tomorrow to make sure we have all of our students connected! Instructional packets will be sent home tomorrow following the bus routes, but students should NOT send work back. If work needs to be returned, it should be done online or by sending a picture. This is also the last week that students in grades 6-12 will get packets sent home. After this week, all instruction will be done online, with the exception of elementary students who will continue to receive instructional packets each week.
Students in grades 6-12 will start completing all of their class work through Microsoft Teams. In order to track attendance and keep all classes information in one location, we have implemented the following schedule for grades 6-12:
Monday: Receive instructional materials and look over what is coming up for the week.
Tuesday: Periods 1, 3, 5, 7
Wednesday: Periods 2, 4, 6, 8
Thursday: Periods 1, 3, 5, 7
Friday: Periods 2, 4, 6, 8
**Each day that the class period meets, students will check in to each class at any time between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Teachers will track attendance by making sure students check in to their class (interacting with a post on the classโ Team). For example, if you are in English 5th period, you would check in on Tuesdays and Thursdays at some point between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in order to be counted present for those days. If you donโt check in, you will be marked absent according to our existing attendance policy.
Each teacher will only be assigning a maximum of TWO assignments each week which will be posted on Teams. This should help students organize and plan for the school work they need to complete throughout the week.
Please refer to the new โDistance Learningโ page on the website to view South Prairieโs Distance Learning Plan which was approved by DPI and other helpful information like more details on the plan for 6-12 and how to use Microsoft Teams.
Daily Update (March 27th):ย ย We will continue our Offsite Distance Learning next week.ย Packets are ready for delivery on Monday.ย On Sunday evening, we will let you know more specific details on the distance learning plan moving forward! Students should continue to stay in contact with your teachers.ย All work should be kept at home, please send your teachers pictures, scans, or complete the work online.
Parents, we ask that any library or bookmobile books that need to be returned should be placed in a plastic bag and returned to the bus drivers on Monday.
Update (March 26th): We have submitted our Distance Learning Plan, and we are waiting for approval. We will update everyone with more details once we have been approved.
We are asking all families to complete a follow-up survey to give us more information for the lunch delivery program and about how the students are doing with making contact with their teachers. To complete the survey, use the following link: https://tinyurl.com/ru6ww2t
Notice of Special South Prairie School Board Meeting on Tuesday, March 26, 2020.
Today we delivered all personal belongings from the studentsโ lockers. If you were not able to receive your locker materials, please contact the school to make sure the bus brings it on the lunch delivery route this week.
Students, please make sure you are continuing to do the work that your teachers assigned for the week. For grades 6-12, we are asking students to check in with their teachers according to their teachersโ directions. Teachers have noted that a lot of the high school students and some middle school students still havenโt checked in with their teachers. Please check the Teacher Pages section of the school website if you need a reminder of what youโre supposed to complete this the week for each class.
Thank you to everyone for your cooperation with this first week of distance learning at South Prairie!
Daily Update (March 24th): This week, teachers have made contact with students digitally. Students, make sure you get connected with your teachers by following the method that they directed. There is a โDistance Learningโ button at the top of the school website that will take you to a page with major updates in South Prairieโs distance learning process along with some helpful links. (Students who need to access Microsoft Teams should view the student help guide on this page)
Parents, please understand that our goal is not to have your kids on the computer for an extended period of time. Our teachers have done a great job at assigning work that should be manageable for students and allow them to share devices within your household. Once we have made sure that everyone in our district has devices to use, we can reevaluate those who need an extra device.
Tomorrow, we will deliver personal belongings from lockers by following the same drop-off process we did on Monday. Look for another survey to come out at the end of the week in which we will ask for feedback on the distance education process and follow up with more questions about connectivity and lunches.
Update (March 23rd): Thank you to everyone for your cooperation with delivering instructional materials today! Tomorrow, we will attempt to deliver to the few who didnโt receive their packets today.
On Wednesday, we will deliver any remaining personal belongings from studentsโ lockers. We will deliver the personal belongings on the bus routes the same way we delivered instructional packets today. Also, if you still want to be added to the lunch list, please contact the school!
Students, please continue to reach out to your teachers through the electronic method that your teachers directed.
*Students in grades 6-12, many of your teachers will be using Microsoft Teams. So, please check your Outlook email inbox for an email from Ms. Palczewski on how to download and activate Microsoft Teams on your computers.
Here is a Monday morning message from Mr. Routledge!

The one exception is that all K-Mart and YMCA students will need to meet at the YMCA between 11:30 & 1:30, those of you that are not on a country route and drive daily, expect your packet to be delivered to the YMCA.
Our goal this week it to provide educational opportunities to each and every student. For this to happen, our #1 priority this week is to touch base with all students and see that everyone is able to connect though the online methods your childโs teacher will be using.ย SRT will be providing free internet access to those that do not currently have access. Jen and Nancy will be calling all families that did not respond to our first survey where we asked about internet connections and devices capable of accessing the internet.
The USDA is providing Free Lunch, Breakfast, and Snacks to all children 18 and under. ย Please connect the school on Monday to be put on the list. ย We will do our best to send lunches tomorrow if you contact the school before 9:30 am. ย
Please look at this week as a learning opportunity for both your children and the teachers. Feedback from you will help in seeing that all of your children are challenged educationally and continue to make progress in this online service. Later this week, teachers will ask for specific feedback and the district will have more broad questions for you as well. Together we will make the best of this situation. ย
I have always lived by the motto: โIn every disaster there lies an opportunity.โ For the students and staff of South Prairie, the COVID-19 pandemic is giving us the opportunity to broaden our teaching and learning styles and, most importantly, continue to grow as a family.
Mr. Stanley, Superintendent
CLARIFICATION: Everyone that is currently on a bus route, open enrolled or not, will have their packets delivered on their bus route. Those that are open-enrolled and normally drive to school will pick up their packets at the YMCA from 11:30 to 1:30.
UPDATE (March 20th): On Monday, March 23rd, we will begin delivering instructional activities through an Offsite Distance Education Model. Materials will be delivered to each household by following the bus routes. The bus will stop four hours after the normal time. Students that are open enrolled will pick up their instructional materials at the YMCA from 11:30 to 1:30.
Each student will receive a packet that includes materials from their teachers to work on for the week and a bag with their textbooks. Students will follow directions according to their teacherโs instructions on how to complete the activties.
Every teacher will also post materials on their Teacher Page that can be found on the school website. (Go to https://www.south-prairie.k12.nd.us/ โ Main MenuโTeacher PagesโTeacherโs Name)
Lunches will continue to be delivered each day as they have been. If you would like to sign up for lunches and havenโt already, please call the school. Lunches are available for anyone in the household who is under 18.
Thank you to SRT and The National Guard for donating bags and Market Place and Cashwise for donating boxes to help us get materials delivered!
Update (March 19th): Based on Governor Burgumโs proclamation that school will be suspended another 7 days (until April 1st), we will continue to develop our Offsite Distance Education Model. Look for our daily briefings as this plan develops.
There will be a special March board meeting at 6:00 p.m. tonight (March 19th, 2020).
Use the following link to join the meeting:

We want to remind all students and parents to stay home and not try to enter the school. Teachers and staff are working to prepare for all possible scenarios. Please look for our daily updates that will be posted each day by 5:00.
Update (March 18th): The South Prairie staff is continuing to prepare our distance education instructional plan. Today was the first day we delivered lunches and it went well. If you want to be added or removed from the lunch list, make sure you call the school.
Update (March 17th): The South Prairie Staff has met today and started developing a plan for instruction if school closures would extend past this week. Tomorrow, we will start delivering lunches to those who requested them by following the bus routes. The lunches will arrive at your stop four hours after your normal bus pickup time. For example, if your child is normally picked up at about 7:15, then you should expect lunches to be delivered at approximately 11:15. The Kmart and YMCA stops will both pick up lunches at the Y from 11:30 to 12:30. If you were not able to fill out the survey or request lunches, please contact the school or fill out the survey that is linked at the bottom of this post.
Also, just as another reminder, all practices and competitions have been suspended indefinitely by the NDHSAA. This includes fine arts music festivals and contests, FBLA, FFA, and archery. We will keep you informed about other events as we find out more information.

The 9th grade class made Shakespearean masks as an artifact in their gang colors for their Romeo and Juliet unit! They are competing against two other groups in their class from the play in several competitions, this being just one. The three gangs are the Capulets (red and yellow), Veronians (neon pink and yellow), and the Montagues (blue and green). Each member created masks and the strongest mask from each gang faces off in a competition judged by dignitaries of South Prairie School.
The students learned that the use of masks during Shakespeareโs plays were for purposes of flirtation for the young people, for fashion of the time, and to protect the wealthy from the sun. Some of the masks will be donated to childrenโs theatre groups or the 2nd Story Social Club for their annual prom!
