For the safety of our students and staff, today, January 20, Brunswick CSD will be closed for a traditional snow day. Stay safe.
Update: Our administration is working with surrounding towns and checking conditions before a final decision regarding today is made. We will update with a final decision when one has been made. Thank you for patience and understanding.

French 4 and French 5 students recently completed a chapter book entitled Les Nuits Mysterieuses a Lyon. When surveyed, several of the students were dissatisfied with the ending of the book. Preferring an alternate ending and WRITING an alternate ending are two very different things. Two French 4 Independent Study students decided to tackle this problem. John Clinton and Carlos Kaskoun brainstormed several interesting alternate endings. However, Carlos took it a step further and began WRITING a new ending. This was no small task; it needed to be readable, in comprehensible French (level appropriate), and almost completely written (including dialogue) without the use of Google Translate (except for an odd word here or there). The NEW improved ending is 5 chapters long and will satisfy even the most discriminating of readers. FELICITATIONS (Congratulations) Carlos!
Today we became aware of an online threat made on TikTok towards the District. We immediately contacted the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s, who worked with our SRO to fully investigate and found the threat to be unfounded. As a precaution, law enforcement were on campus at dismissal of both buildings. We encourage you to speak to your children about the importance of sharing information they might have about potential threats to our students, staff and/or school. All threats of violence, even if made in jest, will be taken seriously and they may result in law enforcement becoming involved. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Thank you for your continued support.
We are so excited to welcome back our students and staff tomorrow for the start of 2023! Tomorrow is a F day. If your student uses a Chromebook at school, please ensure it's fully charged and ready for tomorrow.

The life skills class got together to plant baby spider plants in grown cups and 'build' Snowmen. They have the choice to keep them for themselves or give them as gift. We had a lot of fun and they did an awesome job. Special accolades go out to Ms. Anderson for donating baby spider plant and grow cups, Mrs. Furlong for bringing us the plans for our snowmen, and Ms. Lydon for her sewing skills. By the smiles you can tell a good time was had by all!
