Over the past year, the PTCA has been working on a cookbook filled with recipes from staff, family and community members! We are in the final stage of development and need your help! Students have submitted designs for the cover art of the cookbook. Please take a moment to fill out the survey below and VOTE on which design you think should be used. Voting is open to all students, staff and community members of both Brownington and Orleans schools and the deadline to participate is February 2nd.

Today 7 third and fourth graders from Orleans Elementary School took their places to compete in the Scribz national spelling bee. After nine rounds, we had ourselves a winner. The third grade winner was Aydria and the fourth grade winner was Sophie. From there we went to the ninth round where Sophie sealed the deal with the correct spelling of the word discoveries. There was so much more to the competition than just this piece. The seven students that stepped up and bravely chose to participate in something new were 3rd graders Bella, Aydria, Maximus, Beatrice, Dawson and 4th graders were Acea and Sophie.
January 15, 2026: All afterschool activities for the schools of OCSU (Albany, Barton, Brownington, Glover, Irasburg, Orleans, and Lake Region) are cancelled for today as the National Weather Service warns of freezing at about 4:00 pm.

Movie Night!
Dear Orleans Central Supervisory Union Community,
After hearing from our road crews across our Orleans Central Supervisory Union towns and their concerns about the potential for black ice on our dirt roads later this afternoon, we are calling for an early dismissal today out of an abundance of caution.
Preschool and middle schools will begin dismissal at 11:30 a.m.
Elementary schools will begin dismissal at 11:35 a.m.
The high school will dismiss at 11:45 a.m.
We will not be having any afterschool activities. Please look for additional communication from principals, athletic directors, and coaches about any games that are scheduled for this evening.
The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make decisions based on changing road conditions.
Please take care as you travel today, and thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Warmly,
Jackie Ramsay-Tolman - your OCSU Superintendent
