Changing school start times

By |

The Granby Board of Education (BOE) recently charged the Superintendent of Schools to conduct an administrative study to explore the impact of different school start times on students’ wellness and academic performance and to assess the feasibility of the implementation of new start times for all Granby schools. In Connecticut, school districts such as Greenwich, Wilton, Guilford, West Hartford, and Simsbury have implemented, or are currently exploring, new start times.

The Granby Education Foundation invites you to honor exemplary students, innovative educators, and appreciated community members who have made a difference in education in the town of Granby by participating in the GEF’s tribute program. While the tribute program runs year-round, it makes a particularly appropriate end-of-school year gift to recognize a student’s achievements, thank community volunteers and acknowledge inspiring educators both within the school system and throughout the area.
