FAMILY VACATIONS AND END OF YEAR ABSENCE 
Parents and students are reminded that Massachusetts Law requires
compulsory attendance for students. We strongly discourage family
vacations when school is in session. In addition to compromising the
attendance law, family vacations interrupt the educational process of each
course in ways that make-up work cannot reverse. If family vacations are
planned, an email (pbadalament at colonial.net) from the parent/guardian must
be submitted to the principal at least 1 month before the vacation date.
Please note that teachers are not required to make special provisions for
students who miss school for family vacations.
