As you know, this fall Granby Public Schools identified two priorities for the year: Maximize student growth and achievement and improve our school community communications.
A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in the district’s communications surveys and focus groups. Your feedback is critical to our work on the first goal for the school year.
With the school year almost over, we still have many concerts, award programs, dance/prom, and other exciting events to culminate an incredible school year.
I want to thank the entire Granby community for supporting us this year as we celebrate our 100th day of school; over half the school year is complete. Students in the Granby Public Schools continue to excel and the staff continues to work tirelessly to assist our students achieve their highest academic potential and social/emotional development.
During December and January we welcomed the community into the Granby Memorial High School auditorium for high school and middle school band and choral concerts. We are extremely proud of our students and staff for their outstanding performances. The music programs in our schools truly have a tremendous impact on students’ growth and development.
It is hard to believe that the 2022–23 school year is almost halfway complete.
I thank the community for supporting the opening of schools on August 30. I have visited all the schools several times and it is good to see students and staff back in the buildings, engaged and settling into routines.
On August 30, the doors to one of the best school districts in Connecticut opened for the 2022-23 school year. We welcomed our returning families and those new to our district to what promises to be a great school year for Granby Public Schools.
April was an exciting month for the Granby Public Schools. Our students and staff continue to make the community proud of our school district.
