DAILY BULLETIN
MONDAY, APRIL 26, 2010

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 and mhammer 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.

Report Cards were distributed to students in homeroom on Friday, April 16,
2010.
