Each May, communities across the country take time to honor the incredible educators who make a lasting impact on the lives of their students. This year, Granby Public Schools is proud to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week from May 5 to May 9.
This special week gives us an opportunity to recognize not only our teachers, but also our teaching assistants, social workers and all the dedicated professionals who support students every day. Their commitment, compassion and professionalism help shape the hearts and minds of our children and build a stronger future for all of us.
By showing appreciation for our educators, we help create a culture of respect and encouragement—one where collaboration and support flourish. Granby is incredibly fortunate to have such a talented and caring team of educators working with our students from preschool through post-graduation. We invite the entire community to join us in celebrating them.
If a Granby Public Schools staff member has made a positive difference in your life or that of your child, I encourage you to send a note of appreciation to me at burkec@granbyschools.org and I will be honored to pass your kind words along.

Kindergarten Registration for 2025–26
Families with children turning five years old on or before Sept. 1, 2025, are encouraged to register for kindergarten via the Kelly Lane Primary School web page. An in-person Orientation and Activity Day will be held on May 16, where incoming students will meet with teachers and participate in a fun learning activity while families receive information about the transition to kindergarten.
Celebrate spring with the Granby Bears
There’s no better time to enjoy a game under the spring sky and cheer on our Granby Bears at the Granby Memorial High School athletic fields. Game schedules are available on the GMHS Athletics page.
Student Performances in May
We are proud to showcase the musical talents of our students with spring band, choral and strings concerts across Wells Road, GMMS and GMHS. Visit our website for concert dates and details. We hope to see you there supporting our young performers.
