Mrs. Edinger's vocational class recently visited the Town of Granby Police. Students were given a tour followed by a Q&A session. They learned about the training and skills required for police work, as well as the various services they provide to the community.

The Pupil Services Department supports the needs of students with disabilities through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). In addition, Pupil Services staff work collaboratively with general education teachers to support all students district wide.

Delivering individualized, quality special education programming and tiered interventions that support students in a fiscally responsible manner is an ongoing priority. In alignment with State trends, the percentage of students requiring special education services PK-12 in Granby has steadily increased over time. Granby Public Schools is committed to continuing to meet the growing individualized needs of students with disabilities through intentional and collaborative planning.

New in FY24, the Granby B.E.A.R. Transition Academy opened its doors to provide a post-secondary transition program for eligible youth aged 18-22 years old. Programming includes functional academic instruction, related services, vocational/employment skills, community experiences and daily living skills. The Granby B.E.A.R. Transition Academy is expected to grow in FY25 with neighboring towns taking advantage of this exceptional opportunity for their post graduate students.
