Message From The Executive Director

METCO depends upon all of us working together. Develop your leadership as parents, share responsibility and information and work for real change by helping METCO and its participating communities reach the goals planned in 1966. Any activity that does not allow your participation in its governance should be viewed as unworthy of your time. METCO must have your participation to help your children to learn and achieve. What is important and successful for you will be important to them. They are why you are involved.
PASS IT ON!

	Support you parent group, school Parent Teachers Organization (PTO), Parent Teachers Association (PTA), the Parents' Council of METCO and METCO Parents Legislative Committee. Pay your family dues and support the scholarship and campership funds drives.
	Co-operate in getting your Continuation Application completed during the Continuation Process.
	Acquaint yourself and become involved in our Parent Education Component (Student Services Department).
	Read your METCO Newsletter and "Legislative Alerts"
	Plan your child's basic curriculum from Kindergarten through 12th grade with METCO, your child's teacher, guidance counselor and coordinator/director.
	Know your child's achievement level in all areas each September and June.
	Obtain a copy of your child's permanent cumulative record every year.
	This is a public school program funded by your state taxes. Therefore, support adequate and fair taxation. It is less expensive than privatized services.
	Meet once a year with two State Representatives and two State Senators before March. Talk about METCO.
	Take your child(ren) to your Boston Public Library branch every month.
	All parents and students over 18 who are citizens should be registered voters. Even if you are not a citizen, you should support the elected officials who help METCO and public education improvements. Sincerely, Jean M. McGuire
