In order to be considered for a position on any sports team, each student must have the Colonial School District Sports Permission Form and the DIAA Physical Form (dated after 4/1/24) on file with the Athletic Director, Mr. Sawdey. All pages must be signed & dated where indicated. The DIAA forms may be found by using the link on this page, or they may be obtained in the Main Office at school.
