Friday, September 30th, 2022: All three kindergarten classes enjoyed their first walking field trip to Syracuse fire station 18. During the field trip, students learned about fire safety and how to keep each other and themselves safe from harm. While we were there, students enjoyed watching the firefighters come down the fire pole, suit up in their protective gear, and they even got to sit in the fire truck! Our Atoms had a great time and couldn’t wait to share what they learned with their families!

Thank you, Station 18, for taking the time to have us visit!

Friday September 30th, 2022: “A library card is a start of a lifelong adventure.” Ms. Fogarty’s second-grade class got the opportunity to explore the nearby library. Students and some parents walked to Betts Branch Library, where they learned about all the materials available at the local library. Students then read several books to one another and enjoyed read-alouds.

Thursday, September 29th, 2022: It's hard to believe it's already October! It feels like the first day of school was just yesterday! Syracuse Academy of Science High School held their Back to School Night for families on Thursday, September, 29th. 

At check-in, students received a sign-in sheet to ensure they were introducing their families to their core class and elective teachers. Families and students could walk freely throughout the first floor of the building to visit classrooms and meet grade-level teacher teams. Teachers handed out information about the course, and parents were able to schedule parent-teacher conferences or home visits to discuss their student's progress in more detail.

We hope Back to School night was a positive and helpful experience for all who attended. We're looking forward to the rest of the school year and building success one Atom at a time.

Friday, September 30th, 2022: Each month Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School celebrates a character trait and the students and staff members in our building that exhibit the trait every day. The month of September's character trait was Responsibility. Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, and taking accountability for your actions. A responsible citizen looks out for the well-being of others and understands we all have a part to play in making the world a better place. 

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Ansbrow, Ms. Cahalan, and all our students of the month for being Responsible! Way to go, Atoms!
