My daughter's teacher already has plane tickets, it's not just the kids who would have to "make…Read More up work." We might have to bring in more than 1 substitute teacher - to teach half-empty classrooms? - if other people have plans that they can't or don't want to cancel at this late date. The Scouts would probably cancel their trip to Gettysburg if they have school on Monday - if they don't, there will be a lot of middle-school and high-school boys out. Taking days out of April vacation could potentially affect a lot more plans than just taking a day out of a 4-day weekend, or making a 4-day week into a 5-day week in June. FWIW, my kids have already said that they would rather go an extra day in May and an extra day in June than give up the vacation (the first in 2 years) they've been looking forward to.
I agree that there should be more delayed openings instead of cancellations. Or maybe we should just plan on 10 emergency days instead of 5, and get out earlier in June if we don't use them all. Better to not have an April vacation scheduled than to force people to cancel their plans with 10 days notice.

I would rather have days in June off instead of days in April. For the handful of people who were…Read More planning on jet setting out of Granby in April, go, just come back and make up your work. Also the PD days, take them. I don't see a need for Granby to have PD days all the time. A lot of other schools don't have PD days. One more thing, quit canceling school every time there is a hint of snow in the air and every time a few flakes might hit the ground during the school day. If the bus company is so gun shy that it can't or won't operate under just the threat of snow then get a better bus company.

cut one vice principal at high school, over kill. celebrate pat law is leaving

Maybe we can cut the over paid management at the public works department and let HPJ run the…Read More department. But then who would drive the 3 gas guzzler trucks around doing there personal business on town time with town vehicles. And why do 3 people each need to drive a truck home on our gas???
Happy Percy April 26, 2013 at 05:40 pm
Plenty of other positions and projects can be cut, too. Pond House...gone!!!!

Great schools have great Students, parents and teachers. Congrats all!!!

Congrats to the Granby teachers and students.

Paul, the Granby Board of Education is scheduled to vote Wednesday on how to make up seven snow…Read More days. We'll have a story on that vote tomorrow and another when they decide.

I agree with all of the points in this post. Being a business professional, I am often appalled by…Read More the inaccurate use of sentence structure especially in business writing. Many of the new hires directly out of college often communicate by writing everything from their stream of consciousness. Although today's various new forms of digital communication (Twitter, FB, etc.) may actually influence and encourage the lack of attention to correct grammar, such mediums should not be that much of an impact on business communication. All this being said, I do now question today's educational emphasis on effective writing skills from grammar school through the collegiate level.

Granby is too adicted to closing school at very hint of a flake of snow. The storm is over and we…Read More got an whopping 3 inches of snow. I say open the schools NOW !!! Let the kids get back to school instead of giving up the whole month of June. Really I remember going to school in Simsbury in the 60's and 70's with chains on the tires. The chicken feces that runs the schools today are too risk adverse.

Take a look at the entrance area outside Abbott Tech in Danbury, a 2 story Pi. Pi is an irrational…Read More number. It is created by dividing a circles circumference by it's diameter. Virtually all solutions for Pi calculated by modern devices, either us a constant to the number of digits the device is capable of supporting, or calculate Pi using a power series to approximate it's value with ever greater precision. As the value of Pi is irrational, the power series solution would be infinite. A mathematical power series must be transformed into a computational algorithm, either by looking at prior art, or employing a computer scientist who understands mathematics.
Iterative processes on infinite series are interesting, but can lead to infinite loops. Managing manipulation of various functions and constants (Sine, Tangent, Pi, e). We take for granted the ability to get very accurate results for many functions and constants today, in the past, calculation was impossible without direct measurement as the mathematics and methods for calculation weren't up to the task.

Tremendous comeback boys, it was a pleasure sitting at courtside and reporting on your amazing…Read More championship. Congratulations!

If granby plays its game and they play like a team on defense helping each other, getting to the…Read More boards and on offense distributing the ball appropriately then they will win. If they do not play like a team they will lose. This is Granbys game to win or lose. Weaver is a good team but Granby has too much if they play together on both ends as a team.

As I stated in a previous blog, the College Board has recognized problems and plans to modify the…Read More test again. However, no target date has appeared for the revisions. Learning "active reading" techniques can certainly help, not only with the SAT & ACT, but with reading and studying in general.

That was a typo and entirely my fault, GCR. It has been corrected.
