Dear Science Academies of New York parents/guardians,
As part of our commitment to continuously improving and adapting to the needs of our students and their families, Science Academies of New York Charter Schools is considering a modest proposal to increase enrollment by adding just one student per classroom.

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.
