PTSA Fundraisers are due! THANK YOU to everyone who participated!

Today is National Coaches Day, and the Brocton Central School District would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the amazing coaches, assistant coaches, volunteer coaches, and our shared athletic coaches from our partnering schools. Their dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence have not only shaped our student-athletes but have also fostered a culture of teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship within the Brocton Central School District.

On World Teachers’ Day, the Brocton Central School District extends its deepest gratitude to our extraordinary teaching staff.
Every day, our educators foster creativity, spark curiosity, and equip students with the tools to succeed. Their ability to innovate, adapt, and support the diverse needs of our students is a testament to their strength and devotion.
To our current teachers and the educators of our past—thank you for your lasting impact on our students and the Brocton/Portland community. We are proud to be Brocton Strong.

Early mornings, late nights, and non-stop dedication—our custodial team does it all for Brocton Central School District!
In honor of National Custodial Workers’ Recognition Day, we recognize Mr. Ken Roberts, Mr. Paul Barnum, Mr. James Blanchard, Mr. Jeff Botham, Mr. Ryan Bundy, Mr. Joe Dunn, Mr. Mark Furman, Mrs. Tamara Reichmuth, Ms. Valerie Lanphere, Mr. Will Powless, Ms. Heidi Suppo, Mrs. Kelly Tanner, and our substitute cleaning staff.

This is a reminder that this year's HS Battle of the Classes will be in the ELEMENTARY GYM on Friday, October 2nd starting at 4 pm. All students should go home during the emergency drill and then return to school for the event unless they are staying with their class advisor at the school. Friends and family are welcome to join us in the gym to cheer on the students as they compete to see which class will come out on top. We will start down at the gym and end up in the pool area to have our second annual boat competition after the other team competitions!

Empowering student voices in our schools!

Our Middle and High School students wrapped up "Start With Hello Week "by helping to create a "Connection Chain"! 🔗💚

Students chose a prompt to reflect on and added their response to the chain:

💚 What is something kind someone did for you?
💚 Who makes school better?
💚 When did someone make you feel seen or included?
💚 What does it mean to be Bulldog Strong?

Each link is a reminder that a kind word or a simple hello can help someone feel like they belong.

Thank you to our students for their incredible participation and helping our school community grow stronger together.

Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. 🐾

Pre-K students in Ms.Sobczyk's class finished off celebrating "Say Hello" week and 9/25 by being kind and celebrating one of the kindest people we know, Dolly Parton! They made kindness suns, learned about Tennessee, traced numbers 9/2/5, jammed out to Dolly songs and listened to "A Coat of Many Colors" read by Dolly herself!

💚 Start With Hello Week at Brocton!💚

As part of "Start With Hello Week", our Middle and High School students participated in a fun, interactive “This or That” activity during their lunch periods.

Students placed stickers next to their favorite choices, helping create small conversations, learning things they have in common, and allowing time to connect with one another.

Sometimes something as simple as choosing between a "Bills game or a concert" can be the start of a new conversation or connection with peer.

Start With Hello Week is the perfect reminder that one small hello can help make a difference in helping everyone feel seen, valued, and connected.

💚One small hello can lead to a big connection. 💚

🍇 Learning Locally, Thinking BIG! 🍇 Yesterday, our fifth graders had an amazing opportunity to visit Cornell Co-op out of Westfield and learn firsthand about one of the industries that makes our area so special—the grape industry! 🍇 Students learned how grapes are grown and harvested, got an up-close look at some of the large equipment used during harvest season, and discovered just how many grapes are produced right here in our local area. They also learned about the different products made from our grapes—and, of course, enjoyed sampling some fresh grapes and grape juice! Even though the weather was rainy, it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits! Our students had a wonderful time experiencing this brand-new field trip and making connections between what happens in the vineyards they see every day and the much bigger impact our local agriculture has beyond our community. One of the best parts of this experience was helping our students recognize that even though we come from a small community like Brocton, what happens right here can have an impact across the country. 💚 A huge THANK YOU to Cornell Co-op for sharing your time, knowledge, and expertise with our students and giving them such a meaningful hands-on learning experience. We are incredibly fortunate to have opportunities like this right in our own backyard! 🍇🚜 #BroctonBulldogs #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #LocalAgriculture #GrapeCountry #CommunityConnections
