Prom

Bedford Area School District 2020 Prom

The Bedford Area School District is very excited to begin planning for the 2020 Prom.  Seniors, we never lost sight of prom and we held out hope for you!   Now, we think we can begin the planning, so please be patient with us. 

It is our understanding Bedford County will enter the Green Phase on June 5, 2020.  This phase allows groups of people up to 250.   Therefore, the district needs to know how many people are planning to attend prom before confirming a night and location.  Please review the attached Question and Answer about pre-registration for prom: 

How is the district planning for prom?

Planning for prom will occur in two steps.  The first step is pre-registration to gather information about how many students plan to attend prom.  The second step, after we have a good estimate of attendees, is to plan the date and location for prom.

What are the tentative dates and location of prom?

Currently, the district tentatively reserved two nights for prom.  The nights are Friday, July 24th and Saturday, July 25th at the Elks.

Why does the number of attendees matter?

If there are less than 250 attendees, prom will occur on Friday, July 24th.   If there are more than 250 attendees, the district will open a registration similar to graduation and allow students to choose between July 24th and July 25th.  If this is the case, you will need to coordinate with your friends and decide which night works best!

What if I am not sure if I am going to attend prom?

If there is any chance you are attending prom, you MUST pre-register by June 10th so the district can plan prom.  Only students who pre-register will be permitted to register for prom beginning on June 16th

Wait, so there are two registrations?

Yes, there is a pre-registration beginning today and ending on June 10th.  This is to help the district gathering information to plan.  The second registration is for students to commit to attend prom and to create a formal district list of attendees to be used at the door the night of prom.  The second registration will begin on June 16th.

How do I pre-register for prom?

Go to the https://forms.gle/S4YKUS5RPs88VMmn7  and complete the form.  PLEASE NOTE:  if you are bringing a date or friend, only one registration is required.  Please do not register twice.

If I am bringing a guest, do I have to know the guest’s name before pre-registering?

Yes.  In order to complete the pre-registration process you must provide the name of the guest so the district can properly plan for prom.

Will there be another Q/A about prom in the future?

Yes.  After we gather the information about how many students plan to attend prom, we will release more information about registration for prom, ticket sales, prom walk-ins, etc.

What if I have more questions?
