Dear Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse parents/guardians,

As part of our commitment to continuously improving and adapting to the needs of our students and their families, Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse Charter School is considering a modest proposal to increase enrollment by adding just one student per classroom. This change aims to expand our resources and enhance the educational opportunities we offer for all students without compromising the quality of instruction or individual attention each student receives.

We are surveying to gather your valuable input and ensure our community is fully involved. Your feedback is crucial in guiding our decisions and helping us understand your perspectives on the proposed enrollment increase and other important aspects of our school environment.

Please find the survey link here

We encourage you to participate and share your thoughts. Your responses will remain confidential and be used solely to improve our school's operations and educational offerings.

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you!

Warm regards,
Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse Administration
