Abstract	A child's success in school is often determined by the level of involvement of the family in his or her education. This newsletter presents articles on helping parents collaborate in the schooling process. The title article describes the "universal controlled" public school choice allowed in several Massachusetts school districts, and a report evaluating its impact. The report notes that the majority of parents, including low-income and minority parents, receive their choice of schools, and that well-organized parent information centers are essential to providing all parents with information about schools and counseling them in making good choices. The remaining articles in the newsletter are: (1) "On the Road to Readiness: Roadblocks, Alternate Routes, Checkpoints, and Refueling"; (2) "Surveys and Summaries Help Schools Identify and Analyze Current Practices of Partnership; Develop More Comprehensive Programs; (3) "Families and Schools Begin Action Research To Strengthen Involvement"; and (4) "Parent Centers Send Clear Message: Come Be A Partner in Educating Your Children."
