It can be as simple as a having a conversation with a child about what they want to be when they grow up and sharing about your own experience to caring and offering hope to someone who needs it. Expect More is currently heavily focused on the eighth grader and their parent. Why? It’s Spring, and thoughts for most eighth graders focus on graduation and increased curiosity and excitement about high school. Soon most will visit their high school and choose which courses they’ll take. Their eighth grade teachers are critical decision makers in which classes the students are signed up for and parents of eighth graders are often unsure of their role. Expect More and College Options are offering several events to help promote aware- ness, excitement and confidence in this big step. Four eighth grade parent nights, the first this past Thursday at Evergreen, and the next taking place Monday at Vista at 6:30 p.m. — Lassen View March 16 and Maywood March 28 — are for all parents throughout the county to learn how to help their students prepare for college now. Two of the ses- sions, at Maywood and Vista, will also be provided in Spanish. College Options Assistant Director Karissa Morehouse and Cali- fornia State University Chico representative Jamile Balli are presenting on how to find money to pay for college and some of the myths about attending; what class- es to take in high school; how to begin researching schools and more. At the same time, workshops are taking place all over the county for eighth graders in their classrooms. These are being led by a team of local volunteers trained by College Options. In March, the workshops are scheduled to be given to more than 600 eighth graders. And lastly, nearly 400 eighth grade students are scheduled to visit Chico State between now and May.
