Friday, May 27th, 2022Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools (SASCS) is accepting applications for the 2022 - 2023 school year. Experience how we build success, One Atom at a time at our tuition-free charter school.

At SASCS, students will receive individual attention through small class sizes, have opportunities for hands-on, minds-on learning experiences in a STEM environment, and become college-ready. 

Through SASCS' small class sizes (and a small school environment), we create a family atmosphere where all staff members know each other and students' by name; and can provide a safe and controlled environment for our students and staff members.

SASCS offers a glocal educational experience that allows its students to think globally and act locally through character education, mentorship programs, community service, field trips and activities, and various citizenship programs. These programs include inviting community leaders to speak with the students, community service drives, zero-tolerance bullying programs, and more. At all K-12 levels, the school has a diverse student population from various backgrounds, races, and countries, resulting in a small-world community to promote its global and local educational mission.

What sets SASCS apart from other schools in the area are the Home Visits. We believe that teachers, parents, and the environment affect students' success and performance. Therefore, parental involvement is a significant part of our school's strategic goal. Teachers perform home visits to understand the students' problems and abilities to create a better triad of parent-student-teacher relationships. During home visits, teachers encourage parents to take an active role in their student's learning at home.

We invite you to please click here to apply today! We are Many Atoms, One Family.

A Message from the Superintendent

Thursday, May 26th, 2022Dear Science Academies of New York (SANY) Community Members, parents, guardians, teachers, and students, 

Words cannot express our sorrow and grief for the senseless tragedies that unfolded over these past few weeks. As we continue to mourn the lives of those lost in the Buffalo, we are now facing as a nation an atrocious event that unfolded yesterday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Our hearts are heavy with grief, disbelief, and deepest condolences for those families and community members impacted by these two unfortunate events.

As a parent of four young children, I can only imagine what the families and community members in Uvalde, Texas, are feeling at this moment. No family should ever experience the pain of losing a child, especially in a school environment. 

As a parent, guardian, student, teacher, or community member, you might wonder what steps we have in place for your child's security, safety, and well-being. First and foremost, our top priority remains the safety and well-being of all of our students, teachers, faculty, and staff. 

To help ensure the safety of all, we keep our school doors locked and have visitor protocols in place; and each school building has a single point of entry that is monitored by staff. Security cameras are installed throughout our schools and outside our facilities. 

In addition, we have a district safety coordinator who serves all of our schools, and we work collaboratively with local law enforcement to share information to keep our schools as safe as possible. We always strive to evaluate and improve our use of technology to facilitate prompt and effective communication within district buildings. 

As a district, staff members have participated in multiple levels of active shooter training. This training focuses on what employees should do in the event of an active shooter in the district building. Schools also hold regularly planned lockdown drills to practice in the event of an emergency.

While the district has many procedures, tools, and plans in place, we must never become complacent when it comes to the safety of our students, teachers, faculty, and staff. Let this serve as an excellent time to remind all of us, especially students, that they should tell a trusted adult if they see or hear something concerning. The phrase "see something, say something" continues to hold significance, especially with the role social media plays in the lives of children and adolescents. 

With these two recent tragedies, it has likely evoked many emotions in our school community. We recognize that some children react to tragic events such as these right away, while others respond much later and can vary by age. If you have any questions or concerns about best supporting your child, or if your child would like to speak with someone, please reach out to their teacher, counselors, or school administrators. 

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Buffalo and the entire Uvalde community during this devastating time.

Regards,

Dr. Tolga Hayali, ED.d
SANY Superintendent

SANY Superintendent Dr. Hayali's statement

SANY Superintendent Dr. Hayali's Statement regarding basketball game

Dear Syracuse Academy of Science parents, students, faculty, and staff,

An unfortunate incident occurred during the Syracuse Academy of Science high school basketball game. The connotations expressed by fans do not represent the students and staff's culture, attitudes, or feelings at Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools, nor those of SANY. 

Despite the tension in the building, words cannot describe how proud I am of our students, families, and fans who came to support the Atoms. Our display of professionalism will always rise above any and all negativity that can be found on and off the court. Under these challenging playing conditions, our students proved that good will always prevail. The Atoms secured a victory and will be moving on to the Sectional Semifinals on Friday, February 25th, at SRC Arena. We invite you to please come out and support our students!

As our student-athletes continue to excel in their sports, I want to share a friendly reminder that our opponents' behavior at the boys' basketball game will not be tolerated at any SANY school-sanctioned sporting events. We hold our students, families, and fans to a high degree of respect and professionalism. As hosts, we want to ensure that our opponents feel comfortable in our stadiums, gymnasiums, and arenas when competing against the Atoms. We hope that our opponents will follow the same level of respect and courtesy. 

At SANY, we will always pride ourselves in creating positive and supportive cultures and environments built upon the actions of students, teachers, faculty, and staff. As a district, we recognize and celebrate the diversity of our student population, our teachers, faculty, and staff daily.

Sincerely,
Dr. Tolga Hayali
Superintendent
Science Academies of New York
