Thursday, June 24th, 2021—As students, teachers, faculty and staff prepare for the end of school year, Utica Academy of Science middle school decided to celebrate with their time honored tradition, Field Days. This annual event is one that many look forward to as it not only marks that the school year is almost complete, but it's a day where everyone can spend time outdoors with their friends participating in many games and activities.
Atoms had an opportunity to flex their artistics skills by creating their very own commemorative tie-dye t-shirt, compete in a friendly game of cornhole, practice their jump roping skills, challenge their friends to a fun game of bowling and so much more.
Following lunch, everyone was treated to a sweet and dare we say icey treat from Big Papi's Coquito Iceys!

Friday, June 25th, 2021—Last week, Utica Academy of Science charter schools watched their high school seniors move the tassels, celebrated their 8th grade students moving up to high school, and held a drive-thru graduation ceremony for its Kindergarten Atoms.

Friday, June 25th, 2021-At Utica Academy of Science high school the Senior Video is a time-honored tradition, and one many Atoms look forward to. As the Seniors prepared for their graduation ceremony, each member of the graduating class took a moment to share a few words of wisdom as they prepared to leave behind their legacy.
The Senior Video is a time honored tradition at Utica Academy of Science high school, where each member of the Senior class is encouraged to share their plans after graduation, advice for future Atoms, where they see themselves in ten years, how they would describe Utica Academy of Science in one word, and give a ‘shout out’ and thank various people in their lives who helped encourage and support them throughout their life and academic career, and of course what they will miss the most at Utica Academy of Science and being an Atom.
Today, we share with you the Class of 2021 Senior Video. Congratulations Class of 2021, this year will most certainly go down in history, and you have shown that you are able to overcome just about any obstacle that is in your path. We wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. Many Atoms, one Family!
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021—3, 2, 1 …. Logging off of 2020 - 2021 school year! On a beautiful afternoon, Utica Academy of Science middle school hosted their outdoor 'Moving Up' Ceremony for their 8th grade students.
This ceremony was bittersweet for many reasons, as this will be the last 'Moving Up' ceremony for the Atoms in their original middle school buildings. In the 2021 - 2022 school year, all Utica Academy of Science Atoms will be in one building!
During the Moving Up Ceremony, students were recognized for their success, hard work despite the many obstacles and challenges that this year presented. In true Atom form, with each obstacle or hurdle that presented itself, the students, teachers, faculty and staff all rose to the occasion and came up on top. Utica Academy of Science also welcomed its guest speaker, SANY Superintendent, Dr. Tolga Hayali who shared words of wisdom and the importance of education.
Congratulations to the future Class of 2025, we are very proud of you and all that you have accomplished! We invite you to click here to visit our Facebook page to view more pictures from Utica Academy of Science middle school's Moving Up Ceremony in our 2021 Middle School Moving Up Ceremony album.
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021—Hats off to the future class of 2033! Utica Academy of Science elementary school celebrated a very important milestone in any student's academic career, their FIRST graduation ceremony, and most certainly not their last.
Students and their families participated in a drive-thru Kindergarten Graduation Celebration, as teachers, faculty and staff watched these hard working students prepare for their next step in their academic career. Atoms received their Kindergarten diplomas and an end of year gift as elementary staff lining the walkway to cheer them on. No graduation is complete without photo ops with the family and of course their teachers. This year will most certainly go down in the history books, and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
