Mission Statement
East Granby Public Schools is committed to educating all students including those who meet the criteria for eligibility for special education services according to the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). We believe that all students should receive free and appropriate educational services which enable them to develop to their full potential through the implementation of specialized instruction, related services, and accommodations. We are committed to meeting individual student needs in the least restrictive environment, in order to maximize access to the general education curriculum and to non-disabled peers.
Student Support Services works in conjunction with your school's SRBI Teams to facilitate interventions to support all learners. Student Support Services also oversees the referral process and recommended interventions.
We are strongly committed to educating students through collaborative partnerships with families, educators and service providers to ensure that all students are provided with a high-quality, and comprehensive education, which will enable our students to become confident, productive and contributing members of our community, higher education institutions and the workplace.
