It is important to note that COVID-19 safety protocols will be strictly enforced, including graduates and guests wearing face coverings and practicing social distancing. Due to capacity restrictions at each facility, graduates will be limited in the number of guests they can invite to their school’s ceremony; graduates will be allowed two, three or four guests – each high school will confirm that information with students. If state or local health officials determine that in-person events need to be cancelled or altered due to an increase of COVID-19 cases or for other unforeseen circumstances, TPS has alternative plans ready to implement.
Due to COVID-19, Toledo Public Schools has decided not to host traditional proms this spring. However, schools will have the option to hold alternative events where all attendees will be required to follow safety guidelines and protocols. Each high school will share information about end-of-the-year events directly with students and families.
