K–12 School Store Round Table
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 10:00 AM EST | Virtual via Zoom
FREE for K-12 store members! You must be logged in to register.
K–12 school stores operate within a unique environment — balancing uniforms, spirit wear, parent communication, seasonal demand, and close coordination with school administration. From back-to-school peaks to graduation transitions, the operational and financial rhythms can feel different from higher ed campus retail.
Join fellow NCSA members for a collaborative discussion designed specifically for K–12 school store leaders. Together, we’ll explore how stores manage unique products and services, smaller staffs and retail settings, seasonal planning, inventory, pricing, parent engagement, campus partnerships, e-commerce, and operational challenges unique to primary and secondary school settings.
This session is structured as an open exchange of ideas and experiences, guided by participant questions and shared examples. Members will discuss strategies that have worked within smaller teams, approaches to working with school leadership, and ways to strengthen the store’s role within the broader school community.
Connect with colleagues from K–12 stores of all sizes to share approaches, gain insight, and build a stronger network of peers facing similar opportunities and challenges.
Format: Interactive round-table discussion and idea sharing — participation is encouraged.
Who Should Attend: K–12 school store directors, managers, operations staff, and anyone involved in school-based retail programs.
