Ten Things to Know About The Redesigned Website
  • All UCS schools, specialty programs and community education sites have been redesigned to provide a consistent look and Website navigation to make it easier for users to find information.

  • The sites all contain a “How Do I?” section that will give users a place to go on the websites to answer common questions about UCS and the websites.

  • The sites are being introduced with a companion App that allows users to customize information based on their schools and interests. The app is now available by searching for Utica Community Schools on iTunes or Google Play.

  • The app can be personalized to provide parents a secure way to view information on their child’s schedule, attendance, bus stop and academic performance.

  • Each UCS site will feature a similar domain of school.uticak12.org (for example, beacontree.uticak12.org or Jeannette.uticak12.org).

  • Information sent by the district and schools will also be available through the App in a unique “Message Center.”

  • The district and school sites will be updated regularly and highlight initiatives that support the district’s focus of academic excellence, student innovation, digital citizenship and accountability.

  • The sites have been formatted to adapt to any computer or mobile device.

  • Information for each of the schools or program will be located in the same areas of the Web site across all pages.

  • The district will continue to upgrade the sites to improve convenience and provide new ways to interact and view information about Utica Community Schools.
