Media Center DASH Robots Shoot baskets!
Students in grades 2-6 are participating in a Dash Robot Shootout challenge. Using their coding and collaboration skills, each team programmed Dash to shoot baskets. Games lasted 2 minutes and our highest scoring team made 52 points. Impressive! This activity challenged students to apply the computer science skills they've been learning online at Code.org when programming their robot.
Safety remains a priority in Utica Community Schools.
On May 2, Utica Community Schools will be holding a special election that will allow voters to consider the district’s Safety and Success proposals. Our schools remain the centerpiece of the community, and we are proud that many of our school facilities are used to support the voting process. During these elections, school facilities need to be open and easily accessible to allow voters to cast their ballots.
As has been the practice of UCS for past elections, there will be no school on May 2. The cancellation of school maintains our commitment to safety and allows our facilities to be open for community members to cast their ballots in this important election. This will also provide an opportunity for professional development opportunities for staff.
