Wednesday, May 18th, 2022—The Science Academies of New York (SANY) is excited to announce both Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools and Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter Schools have received their full five-year extension. Receiving a five-year extension from New York State and the Board of Regents is a tremendous accomplishment and no easy feat. To receive a five-year full-term renewal and/or expansion from New York State and the Board of Regents, charter schools must show a high standard for academic success and financial integrity. All SANY Charter Schools since 2003 have always received a full five-year term. We are glad to see this tradition continuing this year with SAS and Citizenship.

Wednesday, May 11th, 2022—Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter School would like to thank our school nurse for all the fantastic work bringing health and happiness to the Atoms and their families. Thank you for all you do and continue to do for the students, teachers, faculty, and staff. We wish you a very happy (and healthy) National School Nurse Day!

Sunday, May 8th, 2022—It's Mother's Day! To all our 'Super-Moms,' Aunts, Grandmas, and motherly figures, we wish you a delighted and relaxing Mother's Day. Thank you for everything you do in your Atoms' life. Your hard work and dedication certainly don't go unnoticed. We hope you have a happy and memorable Mother's Day!

Wednesday, May 4th, 2022—The first week in May, is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Today, SANY would like to take the opportunity to highlight the incredible team of teachers we have at Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter School. 

Each day, Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter School teachers dedicate their time to the success of every student. They provide hope, stability, knowledge, and life lessons and profoundly influence the lives of every Atom they work with daily. Our teachers provide opportunities for students to not only learn through innovative lessons and experiences but continue to grow and succeed. 

Please join SANY in honoring our teachers and by sharing your appreciation with them this week and in the weeks and years to come.

Thank you, teachers, for all you do and continue to do for our Atoms and their families. We are Many Atoms, One Family!

Monday, May 2nd, 2022—Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship 2nd-grade students are all wonders! As they begin their new 'Read to Them' book, 'We're All Wonders,' by R.J. Palacio, the students reflect on what kindness means to them.

The story, 'We're All Wonders,' is about a boy named Auggie, who is like any other child but looks a bit different due to his facial deformities. Since Auggie looks different from other children, many of his classmates make fun of him and treat him with disrespect. When this happens, all Auggie wants to escape on an adventure with Daisy to a world where he feels like he belongs.

Student Teacher, Ms. H, read to the Atoms the story and discussed the story's central theme - choosing to be kind to others above all else. Following the story, all the Atoms and teachers in 2A pledged to choose kindness even when it's hard, when it goes against our friends and when we're feeling bad.

Sunday, May 1st, 2022—In honor of National School Principal's Day, we want to thank our Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school Principal for their hard work and commitment to the students, teachers, faculty, and staff. You are not only the driving force behind Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school but the heart and soul of all of our Atoms. We are Many Atoms, One Family. Happy School Principal's Day!

Saturday, April 23rd, 2022—We are many Atoms, One Family at Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school. The last two weeks in April, we had the privilege of welcoming our newest Atoms to tour the building and meet with the teachers at our Open House. In addition, we met and  welcomed students from the future Class of 2034 at their Kindergarten Orientation. We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces in the Fall!

Friday, March 25th, 2022—Race fans, are you ready for this bit of news from our ‘crew’ at Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school? It’s official, the Atoms in 3B have met their ‘RACECAR’ writing goal of 300 points!

Last month, students have been putting the pedal to the metal and working hard on their RACECAR writing assignments. Each day, Atoms earned a certain amount of points based on their performance and the quality of their work.

To celebrate their 'photo finish,' the Atoms received a 'Dress to Impress' day, where students could pick out their favorite outfits that make them feel the most confident. 

Congratulations to all of our hardworking Atoms. We are all very proud of you and all you have accomplished!
