Monday, January 24th, 2022—Join Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools as we participate in National School Choice Week. Throughout this week, elementary school Atoms will have an opportunity to participate in various activities and events, such as learning the official National School Choice Week dance (click here) and wearing yellow on Tuesday (01/25). Before we get started, let's take a look at what is School Choice.

"School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently.

This week, we will be celebrating our students, parents, teachers, and staff. We encourage prospective students and families to learn all about what Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools offers! There are many reasons families, teachers, and staff choose SAS.

We are looking forward to celebrating all of those reasons and more

Monday, January 17th, 2022—We celebrate the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He believed in equality, freedom, and dignity for all people.

In observance of this holiday, there will be no school on Monday, January 17^th. Classes will resume on Tuesday, January 18^th. Enjoy this long weekend, Atoms!

Saturday, November 20th, 2021—It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Coach Irene Thompson, a beloved colleague, mentor and very good friend to so many at Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School. Coach Thompson passed away peacefully on Monday, November 15^th, 2021.

Starting as a track coach in 2005, Coach Thompson had an eye for talent, and built track team dynasties at Syracuse Academy of Science high school, leading Atoms to be the best in their division. In fact, Coach Thompson led 23 different Gold Medalists in the sectional events, and had over 17 students win individual titles, which allowed them to qualify and move on to higher levels of competitiveness, including collegiate athletics.

Thompson was the true definition of a leader who was the embodiment of honesty, hard work and dedication, inspiring everyone to be the best, including her athletes. Year after year, Thompson raised money for the track program through various fundraisers and social events. She would also take her students on field trips to New York City and Pennsylvania to compete in State Championship competitions. 

It’s Thompson’s heart of gold that left an impact on everyone she met and will most certainly be missed. Off the track, Thompson always put her student athletes first making sure they were equipped with sneakers and proper clothing for events.

Coach Thompson leaves behind a lasting impact and coaching legacy that reaches beyond the motivation and resilience she taught her students and athletes on the track and in the classroom at Syracuse Academy of Science high school. As we take this moment to remember Irene, we want to extend our deepest sympathy to Irene Thompson’s family and friends.

Below you will find visitation and funeral information. Her funeral which is open to everyone will start at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, November 23^rd, 2021 at Tucker Missionary Baptist Church located at 515 Oakwood Ave, Syracuse, NY 13205.

Monday, November 15th, 2021—Let’s stick a fork in hunger and give back to those in need this Thanksgiving season! Join Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school in its Canned Food Drive to help benefit a local charitable organization. The Canned Food Drive runs from Monday, November 15^th through Monday, November 22^nd. All canned goods are welcome and donations can be made at the school. Together we can make a difference!
