Tweet for a Utica Community Schools Teacher Today

All of us have a favorite story about the difference a teacher has made in our lives. Today, in honor of National Teachers Day, the district is encouraging students, UCS staff members and parents to Tweet their Teacher.

Please share short comments about the positive difference a UCS teacher makes by using the hashtag #UCSTEACHER. Many of the posts will also be shared by UCS on its social media sites and the UCS television station. 

Please take the time on Tuesday to thank a UCS teacher for their continued dedication to the students in our community. 

Below is a resolution that was adopted by our Board of Education this Monday recognizing the contribution of UCS teachers.
