METCO Turns 50
By Aaron Joncas
METCO celebrates its 50th year in the Concord Public Schools this year. To kickoff the year, we will hold a family friendly picnic at CCHS on Sunday, September 17th from 2:00 - 5:00. We will have plenty of food, children's activities and lots of alumni returning to campus. Please visit Concord METCO on facebook to view the event and invite friends, families and former colleagues. The picnic is open to all!

Back to School Night

6:00 - 6:45 PM Freshman Parent Info Session (Auditorium)

7:00 - 7:20 PM All Parent Meeting (Auditorium)

All parents are invited to attend our annual Back to School Night on Thursday, September 14, 2017. The program will begin in the auditorium at 7:00 pm. Please be advised, there is a limited supply of parking, and we recommend carpooling if possible. Please park in the lower lot outside the school's dining commons.

Freshmen parents are invited to attend a program with guidance staff and school leaders at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Auditorium. Parents will have the opportunity to ask questions and to learn more about the life of the school.

The guidance counselors will be available to introduce themselves to the parents/guardians of freshmen during D, E and F blocks. Here are the locations: Jeff Block - Learning Commons Room 241 Rachele Brown - Student Support Suite Room 228 Katie Goldrick - Learning Commons Room 247 Caryn Haskins - Student Support Suite Room 224A Tom O’Connor - Student Support Suite Room 230 Matt Rudmann - Learning Commons Room 242

Following a short opening assembly for all parents at 7:00 p.m., you will travel through a typical, albeit abbreviated, school day (all eight blocks, A through H).  Please click here for the evening’s schedule.  From A-Block on, during an eight-minute period, you will meet classroom teachers and receive a general overview of what students will be learning during the school year. Teachers look forward to more personalized conversations during Parent Conferences on Thursday, November 9, 2017, or sooner by request.

During lunch blocks, directed studies or open blocks, you will have “Open Campus” (free time) to tour the building, visit the Learning Commons (library), the Art Gallery or student radio station, WIQH.

Please arrive with your son/daughter's schedule in hand. If you do not have a copy of the schedule, please retrieve one in the Aspen Parent Portal. If necessary, we can print one in the main office; just make sure to leave extra time to allow for this.

We have included a map to help you maneuver around this magnificent building. To help assist you, student guides will be located at various locations throughout the building.

We look forward to seeing you next Thursday!
