Dear New UCS Parents,
Welcome to the Utica Community Schools family!
We are pleased to welcome you to a community that is defined by its commitment to educational excellence. Our district has a clear mission, vision and direction that will empower your child to transform their future with nationally-recognized programs and services.
Our UCS administrators, teachers and support staff know that high expectations are vital for student success. Our students and staff strive for excellence in safe and positive classroom environments, within the arts and through athletics. That is why in Utica Community Schools we celebrate:
- Student achievement levels that outpace local, state and national averages
- A graduation rate that is among the best in the nation and 13 points higher than the state average
- Programs and services that are regularly recognized for excellence at state and national levels
- A district recognized for its responsible financial management and commitment to ensuring resources directly support our educational mission
In Utica Community Schools, we believe that strong partnerships produce great results. Student success is strengthened by a positive partnership between the home and school. We encourage you to be involved in your child’s education through volunteer opportunities across the district or within your child’s school.
You will find application information for Utica Community Schools throughout this section. We’ve organized the pages to guide you through our various avenues of enrollment. Please navigate to the page that best fits your family’s needs.
If you need additional information regarding your child’s education, I encourage you to talk directly to your child’s teachers or school principal. If you have questions, concerns, or want to share positive stories regarding your child’s experience, please feel free to call my office at any time at 586-797-1100.
Welcome again to your new UCS family.
