Completely disagree with changing the school times.

I used to teach for Granby Public Schools, as well as being a resident for 25 years and going through all the schools myself. I am opposed to any/all changes to the start/end times, especially for the elementary schools because it will have a huge impact on student learning at this age range and honestly this change doesn't need to happen. There have been enough changes in the past few years, let's give students a break before more changes are made.

Less homework a better option

Glad to see some high school students and teachers names on this petition.

Why would we allow a negative impact on the younger kids? Makes NO sense!

Too early for the younger kids. They need their sleep. No benefits for the students or their parents.

I don’t believe is a good idea to change the times.

Expensive change for parents and potentially not all that effective as kids till have to get up and out of the house so parents can get to work.

I'm concerned with many of our Asnuntuck College Connections students--22 that take courses in trade areas that will likely not be able to attend this program if the time change goes through

I am concerned about the impact that a later start time would have on athletics, the arts and other extracurricular activities. I worry that students would have to make some hard choices and I don't want to see that happen. It can also be very hard for working families to make schedule changes like the ones proposed.

As the mother of 3 in Granby and a teacher of young children for CRÈC, I am against the time change.

In favor of keeping school times as they are now

This will be problematic for working families and students with after school activities.

Some changes are not for the good of working families. This is one example of that.

I think the times should stay the same. It has worked for all these years.

As a graduating senior from GMHS this year I think the start/end times should stay the same due to work/sports conflicts. However I and my other classmates were a fan of Plc days and having the option to leave early or come in late depending on 1st or 8th period study halls and would like to see more opportunists such as those for students.
