Happy Special Education Day 2025!!
Today, December 2, 2025, is National Special Education Day. It commemorates the signing of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (now IDEA), a landmark law that guaranteed educational opportunities for children with disabilities. We take this moment to celebrate the progress made and to thank our exceptional special education teachers, support staff, and administrators for their tireless work. We also recognize the vital role of parents and families in our inclusive community.
Join us in celebrating the talent and potential of all our students. We are committed to providing the resources and support needed to help every child thrive. #BroctonStrong #Inclusion #BroctonCentralSchool

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 consider 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.
