Dear Utica Academy of Science parents/guardians,

As part of our commitment to continuously improving and adapting to the needs of our students and their families, Utica Academy of Science Charter School is considering a modest proposal to increase enrollment by adding just one student per classroom. This change aims to expand our resources and enhance the educational opportunities we offer for all students without compromising the quality of instruction or individual attention each student receives.

We are surveying to gather your valuable input and ensure our community is fully involved. Your feedback is crucial in guiding our decisions and helping us understand your perspectives on the proposed enrollment increase and other important aspects of our school environment.

Please find the survey link here

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you!

Warm regards,
Utica Academy of Science Administration
