Coffee & Conversation
Upper Arlington Schools is expanding the popular Coffee & Conversation series launched last year. This builds off the success of Dr. Hunt's UAdventure series during the 2023-2024 school year and the Board of Education's overall commitment to community engagement through the Listen Learn Lead series.
These coffee chats are an opportunity for the community to come together and learn more about the Upper Arlington Schools in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. There will be both morning and evening opportunities to join these conversations, and many of the Coffee & Conversation events will focus on specific topics of interest from all areas of the school district — including academics, district finances, student well-being and facilities master planning. Every event will include time for general updates and questions.
As part of the Coffee & Conversation series, Upper Arlington Schools will also be holding an annual town hall meeting to provide general district updates and answer questions for a larger audience.
We encourage you to join us and be part of the ongoing conversation that helps shape the future of our schools!
