Wednesday, October 4th, 2033: College visits are an important part of the curriculum at Syracuse Academy of Science High School. That includes visiting college campuses and representatives coming to the high school to speak with students. This time, Canisius University and Elmira College representatives visited the school. Small groups interested in learning more about the colleges met with the speakers in the conference room. Both institutions are known for their small class sizes, allowing students to experience college life in an intimate learning environment.
Friday, September 22nd, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science High School had another successful chess club meeting! With over 15 attendees and over ten scrimmages playing, pieces flew everywhere. Atoms practiced openings, reviewed the rules, and enjoyed the game's social aspect! Unfortunately, nobody was able to get the better of Mr. T, who remains unbeaten and has yet to buy a pizza party this year.
Can you beat Mr. T? The club always seeks more members! They meet every Monday from 2:30 to 4.
Wednesday, September 27th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science High School hosted Back to School night. Over 90 families joined teachers, staff, administrators, and coaches to celebrate the beginning of our 23/24 school year. This was a great chance to meet some new parents and allow students to show off what they have been up to this year!
Thank you to all who joined. Let’s make it a fantastic year.
Tuesday, September 26th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary is partnering with some awesome families to bring a Home/School Organization to our school! An HSO is just like a PTO, except with the acknowledgment that not all students are being raised by "parents." On Tuesday, September 26th, we hosted our first HSO meeting of the 2023-2024 school year! We had an excellent turnout and have some big ideas to get us started. We named the HSO the “Atoms Organization” and are excited to get this initiative off the ground!
Future Atoms Organization meetings will be held on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 5:00 p.m. We are always looking to hear from more families that might be interested in helping us out!
Monday, September 25, 2023: Check, Mate! Several Syracuse Academy of Science high school students participated in the first meeting of the Chess club. We love to see students getting involved on campus!
Friday, September 22nd, 2023: Fall is in the air! Syracuse Academy of Science first graders spent the morning at Tim’s Pumpkin Patch. Pumpkin picking, posing for photos with the animals, and a spooky hayride made for a gourd-tastic time on this beautiful Friday.
Tuesday, September 19th, 2023: Students are participating in the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School Reading Challenge this year. Every time Atoms read a book and submit a form, the total number of pages they read gets added to the whole school's total. When they hit certain milestones, Mr. Farnach volunteered to perform certain tasks. In this case, the goal was 1,000 pages. The students reached it, and Mr. Farnach had to dress up like a pirate for the day. The next goal is 5,000 pages, and then Mr. Farnach will get duct-taped to a wall!
Keep turning those pages!
Monday, September 18th, 2023: Mrs. Miller's Marvelous Minds Wall is not just for academic success. This year at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary, we are celebrating social-emotional achievements, too! When a teacher or staff member catches a student doing something incredible or kind, that student is given a shout-out on the morning announcements and gets to write their name on the Marvelous Minds wall! This year, some shout-outs have been for coming to school ready to learn with a positive attitude, comforting a new student who was nervous on the first day, and standing up for someone who was being picked on.
We are so proud of these marvelous minds! Keep it up!!
Thursday, September 14, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School welcomed families to our annual open house. Families were able to tour the school and meet their scholar's teachers. Thank you to everyone who came! Here’s to a successful year.
Friday, September 15th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science is putting the "A" in STEAM. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. This year, the Elementary School has brought back Music as a special! Mr. Huyge is including it in every classroom so Atoms can find their rhythm and let their creativity shine. Students have been very receptive to the return of music, and we are so excited to see where this year takes them!
