Instruction in Granby Public Schools is guided by our Vision of a Graduate: we aim for every student to become a resourceful learner and an effective communicator who contributes positively at the local, national and global levels. Our curriculum is based on state standards that outline the knowledge and skills students should acquire during their K–12 education in order to graduate ready for college and career.
At the Sept. 17 meeting, the Granby Board of Education received test score results from the prior year’s Smarter Balance (SBAC) tests. These results, coupled with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) assessment and the PSAT and SAT scores provide guidance to the board—and more importantly the administration and the teachers—of what additional work or changes need to be implemented to help our students achieve their best.

Granby Public Schools will carry forward Connect. Believe. Achieve. from last year—because it just makes sense. It’s more than a theme; it’s what we stand for and what we believe. This year, we plan to build on this theme in a big way as we create our next five-year strategic plan, turning those words into action across the district.
As Granby School District families return to the routine of another school year, the board of education will begin executing some new strategies and opportunities for 2025–26.
