Tuesday, August 20, 2019—With the school year starting in just a little over a week, we welcomed our new Atoms to the Utica Academy of Science Middle School Family at the New Parent Orientation. Families learned about the goals for the upcoming school year, school policies, and procedures. They even were able to have hands-on-training with SchoolTool. In addition, families were able to discover how we continue to build success one Atom at a time through rigorous curriculum, fostering a safe environment that supports students needs. We look forward to seeing all of our Atoms on Thursday, September 5th for the First Day of School.

Wednesday, June 26, 2019—Oh the places you go! We look back on a highlight for our Kindergarten Atoms, their Moving Up Ceremony. Students, families, faculty and staff all gathered to witness this momentous occasion as they watched their Atom walk across the stage for the first time with a 'diploma' in hand. Congratulations Atoms, we wish you nothing but the best in the first grade and for many years to come.

Friday, June 7, 2019—A beautiful sunny day filled with laughter, excitement, cheers, games and activities for the elementary school Atom's first ever Field Day event. Students partook in an epic game of Tug o' War, competed in various relay races, tested their tossing ability with corn hole, and much more! Students won medals and trophies if they exemplified team behavior, and good sportsmanship behavior. Great job Atoms!

Friday, June 10, 2019—High School National Honor Society Atoms had their shades on and dipped their toes in the nice cold water at New York State Park's Delta Lake State Park. This state park is made up of 720 acres of land located on a peninsula in the town of Western. Atoms enjoyed a day relaxing and partaking in a volleyball tournament, swimming, hiking and of course building sandcastles. To make this field trip even more memorable, National Honor Society members were able to invite a classmate.

Thursday, June 20, 2019—Giving back to the community is on of the many ways we continue to build success, one Atom as a time. Middle school students in the Student Government program take the initiative to give back to an organization that provides resources to those who have served our country, the Veterans Outreach Center of Utica. Throughout the summer months, its challenging for homeless veterans to find nourishment. With the efforts of the Atoms, they were able to collect and donate over 10 boxes of non-perishable food items to assist throughout those summer months. Great job Atoms, way to help others in need and to be actively involved in your community.

Monday, June 24, 2019—Atoms invite you to come and 'feel the magic in the air' with their end of year music video. A time-honored tradition, our elementary school students, teachers and staff from not only the Utica Academy of Science, but Syracuse Academy of Science and Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship schools partook in the event, as well. We hope you enjoy this video. Great job Atoms!

Tuesday, May 28, 2019—Atoms share their green thumb expertise while giving back to their community at the Sitrin Health Care Center. As part of the Military-Civilian Coalition, students and veterans join forces to empower and educate through social endeavors. Together they teamed up and planted delicious herbs and vegetables in their raised garden beds. Great job Atoms!

Friday, May 24, 2019—It's not everyday that Atoms get to dress in 17th century clothing, practice on a cannon drill team and experience fort life. But it's business as usual when you visit Fort Stanwix National Monument and Oriskany Battlefield Historic Site. Right in our backyard, Fort Stanwix and Oriskany Battlefields are two historic locations filled with rich American history. Atoms learned about the 21 day siege at Fort Stanwix, as well as, how it received the title "the fort that never surrendered." Following this adventure, students visited the site of the Revolutionary War's Battle of Oriskany.
