  • Snow Days: Over the past few years, Assabet Valley has been criticized for the number of snow days it averages per year. Parents have complained that Assabet cancels school on days where it isn't necessary. Most parents do however realize that about 80% of the student body travel on major a highway and there are students coming from 11 different towns, which causes the frequent rate of snow days. Assabet has averaged 4 snow days per year over the past 4 years. In 2004-2005, Assabet used all 5 of its allotted snow days. Due to so many snow days, students were released on June 27th in 2005 and on June 22 in 2006. So far, there has been 1 snow day during the 2006-2007 school year, as of February 14, 2007. The scheduled last day of school is June 19, 2007.
