Important Calendar Updates
Calendar updates
- Tuesday, March 19 - spring voting day - no school for students
Because many schools are used as polling locations, there is no school for students on voting days. - Monday, April 8 - solar eclipse - early release
For the first time since 1806, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Ohio at approximately 3 p.m. on April 8, 2024. To eliminate the safety concerns involved with students being dismissed during the eclipse, and to allow families to experience this historic event together, there will be an early dismissal of 1 p.m. for the elementary schools and 1:30 p.m. for the middle schools, high school and Burbank Early Childhood School. Thanks to the Upper Arlington Education Foundation, all UA Schools students and staff members will be receiving eclipse glasses through the district.
Coming Up in February on Good Morning Tremont
Good Morning Tremont (GMT) is Tremont Elementary School’s daily video announcement show featuring timely information for students and staff, as well as celebrations of classroom learning, community, and school events. GMT is hosted as “unlisted” on YouTube, viewable only though the link emailed to Tremont staff and families each school day. Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to create content for GMT individually and as a class, in addition to being recognized as a part of school events.
During the month of February, be sure to watch for recognition of Black History Month, Lunar New Year, World Read Aloud Day, Valentine’s Day, and more! In addition, we are excited to feature takeovers from Mrs. Spires’, Mrs. Pavlofsky’s, Mrs. Downour’s & Mrs. Gill’s classes!

Spring Break Food Support - The district is partnering with the Tri-Village Packers to support their Spring Break 2024 food distribution program. The Tri-Village Packers will distribute groceries to families with UA students for the days when school is not in session. The food will be provided at no cost to district families experiencing food insecurity who would benefit from additional food.
We know that spring break occurs during a season of religious and cultural holidays that impact dietary practices. Volunteers will try to honor any restrictions you share with us to support your nutritional needs while recognizing your obligations.
To sign up for this round of food distribution, please complete this form by March 1, 2024. Once registered, you will receive an order number allowing you to pick up your food at the Upper Arlington Senior Center on March 21, 2024, between 3:30 and 6 p.m. If you cannot pick up your food, arrangements can be made for delivery.
