REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL URBAN EVENTS
Admissions events are only open to 8th graders and their families. All events are optional and can be scheduled in your Ravenna-Hub account. After creating a Ravenna-Hub account and profile for your student, you will be able to begin exploring Urban and scheduling events after you click Apply (beginning late August).
While we can’t replace experiencing first-hand the creative friction, energy and community warmth that pulses through Urban’s buildings and spaces, we are excited to creatively show you what it’s like to be a Blue. Here are the various ways you can “see” our school during the 2020-21 school year (more details and event registration information is in Ravenna!):
Virtual Open Houses – Families will attend two class presentations taught by Urban faculty and learn what it’s like to be a member of our community from administrators and current students.
Virtual Parent Information Sessions – Join us for an informal and intimate conversation where you will have the opportunity to learn more about Urban’s curriculum and community and get your questions answered by the Admissions Team, current Urban parents and administrators. These sessions are designed for parents/guardians only.
Virtual Affinity Night (November 9, 2020) – At Urban, we believe the best education occurs in a school community made up of students, teachers and families drawn from many different socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, races, religions and sexual orientations. We celebrate those differences while honoring and respecting students’ individuality as we learn to work together. Among our priorities as educators is to create a strong and inclusive community – academically engaging and socially supportive – that prepares students to live and work in a diverse and multicultural world. We encourage all families to attend and learn more about Urban's commitment to equity and inclusion in our curriculum, programs and student body. Participants will include students from our Multicultural Leadership Team, Students of Color Affinity Space and Gender-Sexual Alliance, as well as faculty and members of our Parent Diversity Committee.
Admissions Team Office Hours – These informal sessions are designed for families to ask specific questions about Urban and the Admissions process. Of course, families always have access to the Admissions Team via phone or email throughout the season!
Student Admissions Committee Hangouts – Whose House? Blues House! These are fun, casual conversations where 8th graders have the opportunity to learn what it’s like to be a Blue. Hear more about Urban’s community and get questions answered by members of Urban’s Student Admissions Committee, Admissions Team members and other Urban community members. These sessions are designed for students only.
