Today, Brocton Central School District "Rocked their Socks" by celebrating World Down Syndrome Day two days early! World Down Syndrome Day (March 21st) is a global awareness day which has been officially observed since 2012. The date for World Down Syndrome Day being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome.
Brocton Central School has been notified of a positive COVID-19 case involving a student in high school. The student was last present on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. All direct contacts have been notified. This does not impact our in-person learning model. Staffing levels remain consistent. We encourage everyone to continue practicing social distancing and wear face coverings even when outside of school. Thank you for your continued support and remaining Brocton Strong!
Today, March 17, 2021, meals will be delivered to all families at 9:30 am who have requested such for students in the hybrid or full-virtual learning. Meals will include multiple days of breakfasts and lunches. Please have a cooler available at the bus stop if you are unable to meet the staff outside. Due to safety concerns, staff will not be walking meals to your doorstep. A cooler or an individual will need to be at the bus stop location. If for some reason you are unable to be at the bus stop, you may call the Transportation Department at (716) 792-2236 to make arrangements for your food to be picked up at the school at a later time, and that is more convenient for you. Have a great day, Brocton!
Brocton Central School District wishes you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Parents and Guardians.
This message pertains to the PowerSchool Parent Portal. The Parent Portal will be temporarily shut down over the next two weeks as we make changes and adjustments to student and teacher schedules. Changes to the PowerSchool need to be made in order to transition our students at the MS/HS level back into the building four days a week starting March 22nd for the MS and March 29th for the HS. We apologize for this inconvenience. As soon as all the changes have been made we will have an announcement scheduled when the Parent Portal is back up and running. Teachers will still be able to have access to their grade books in order to conduct Parent/Teacher conferences later this week. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we look to have all students in the building at least four days a week.
Have a great rest of your day.

BCS's little engineers in kindergarten celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss by recreating his iconic hat with red cups and white paper. The children visited the STEM lab and practiced Math skills such as counting, number identification, and number composing/decomposing while stacking cups to make Cat in the Hat's "hat."
