TOLEDO, Ohio — Citing "the continued spread of COVID-19 across our region and the state of Ohio," Toledo Public Schools on Thursday said it will continue with 100% remote learning through the entire month of January.
TPS students will continue with remote learning under Red Light status to start the second semester as district leaders monitor the cases of COVID-19 in the community.
District leaders anticipate they will make an announcement in mid-January regarding the possibility of students returning to in-person learning in February 2021.
"This decision is being made with one concern in mind: the health and safety of the district's students and staff members," district leaders wrote in a letter to parents on Thursday. "We are making the announcement now so students, staff members, parents and community partners have adequate time to plan and prepare for the beginning of the second semester, which is Tuesday, January 5, 2021."
On Jan. 5, food distribution will continue on the same schedule that was implemented in early December. Students and parents can pick up a 5-day meal pack on Mondays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at their student's home school. If you cannot pick meals up on Monday, you are asked to call the school to make other arrangements for a different day for meal pick-up.
