Welcome to the Utica Community Schools –
Where Every Child Achieves!

As a member of our Utica Community Schools family, your child will have access to comprehensive academic programs in a safe and nurturing setting. Each of our more than 1,300 teachers is highly-qualified to teach their subject or grade level, in order to make your child’s school experience valuable.

We believe that your child’s academic achievement will be strengthened by a positive partnership between home and school. Please take advantage of all available opportunities to keep lines of communication open. Attend Fall Open House and Parent-Teacher Conferences. Read the building newsletter and school web site for building-level updates. Consider joining the PTO or Booster Club to support building activities. You’ll be glad you did!
