Connecting with GMMS
Counseling Support.

Students can request a meeting with their school counselor by clicking on the counselor's name below and completing the attached google form (this form can only be completed by using a Granby Public Schools account).

Students and parents can also request a meeting with a school counselor, social worker, or school psychologist by email, or phone.

GMMS support staff will only be responding during typical school hours. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, then please refer to crisis intervention and emergency assistance (call 211 or 911).
