SAS ES Kicks Off Second Year of Beat the Bell

Thursday, September 11th, 2025: Ms. Robinson and Ms. Cahalan taught first graders about Beat the Bell, Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary’s fun initiative to encourage daily, on-time attendance.

Here’s how it works: randomly throughout the week, a classroom number is called during morning announcements. If students in that class are present, on time, and ready to learn, they win a prize! 

Now in its second year, Beat the Bell is helping students build positive habits while celebrating the importance of showing up daily. We’re excited to see our Atoms rise to the challenge!
