Attention all students, parents and staff: Due to current and projected weather conditions impacting safe travel, the Brocton Central School will be closed on Monday, December 2, 2024. This includes the Fitness Center and Pool Programs. Please stay safe.
As we approach the joyous yet bustling month of December, it’s essential to remember that it is also National Impaired Driving Prevention Month.
During this time of year, countless celebrations, gatherings and festivities take place, often accompanied by alcohol and substance use. It is crucial to keep in mind the potential consequences of impaired driving. Each year, we as a community, witness a tragic increase in accidents related to impaired driving during the holiday season, impacting lives and families in profound ways. We encourage you to make a conscious effort to prioritize safety—not just for yourself but for everyone on the road. Let’s work together to create a safer environment for our loved ones and communities this December and beyond. The Brocton Central School District is here to remind you that safety should always come first. Make the right choices, enjoy the festivities and help us create a culture of responsible driving.
The Brocton Central School District extends warm wishes to you and your family for a joyful Thanksgiving Day. We hope this holiday brings you happiness and gratitude. Thank you for being a valued part of our community.
The STEM Club held their annual Thanksgiving Day "balloon" parade. The children created there own balloon character out of anyting but balloons and attached them to robots. They then crated a parade route for the robots to travel on. The rbots they used are line robots that are programmed by colors and lines the robot "see" on the ground/paper.
The kindergarten classes participated in the annual Thanksgiving STEM and literacy distance learning project, Turkey in Disguise. After reading Turkey Trouble, the children disguised turkeys as different characters or objects so the "farmer" couldn't catch them for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately one Turkey from each class is caught each year. Once a turkey is "caught," the classes used Google Meet to meet with classes from northern NY to learn about those communities and then play a 20 questions type game trying to guess that turkey that was caught in each classroom.
Meet Arnie!! The Brocton Central School District would like to welcome Arnie to the Bulldog Family. Mr. Dan Vona and his companion are the proud owner’s of Arnie. Mr. Vona’s companion, who is a seventh grade teacher at the Fredonia Middle School, spent several weeks with Arnie at her school for his training. Today was Arnie’s first day at the Brocton Central School District. In the short amount of time here, he exceeded our expectations of his behavior with the students, he is very friendly and every time the bell rang, he would go to the door and would want to greet everyone. We are very excited to have Arnie as a service therapy dog!
