The events have been well received, and if you have not had the chance to attend there is one more opportunity on Monday, March 28, at Maywood Middle School in Corning at 6:30 p.m.; parents from all over Tehama County are invited to attend. Events like these are partic- ularly important because research has shown that parent involvement plays a key role in educa- tional achievement. Let’s take a look at what the research shows: Where Children Spend Their Time • School age children spend 70 per- cent of their waking hours (including weekends and holidays) outside of school. When Parents Should Get Involved • The earlier in a child’s education- al process parent involvement begins, the more powerful the effects. The Sacramento River Preservation Trust (Trust) and Associated Students Adventure Outings (AO) are co-sponsoring a Sacra- mento River full moon float on Monday, April 18. The float will cover a short stretch of the Sacra- mento River just outside of Chico, near Hamilton City. We will float downstream to Scotty’s Landing, stop- ping for dinner on one of the sandbars in between as the moon rises over the river. This event will be a late afternoon into evening activity starting at 5:30 p.m. and ending at about 10 p.m. This is a great opportuni- ty to observe this scenic stretch of the River. Noctur- nal species will likely make their presence known as we gently float under the fading light of a beautiful spring day. Binoculars are recom- mended, as bats, bank swal- lows, river otter and an amazing mix of other migratory and resident wildlife are often seen this time of day. River guides, boating equipment (whitewater rafts and lifejackets) are provided by AO. Participants will Snowfall has been very heavy throughout our service area, and the rising snowpack has created situa- tions where cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and hikers may come into close contact with high-voltage power lines.

PG&E advises people to stay O requirements, only adults (18 and over) are allowed. This trip fills up quickly and space is a limited. For more information call the Trust at 345-1865 or visit the website at www.sac- rivertrust.org. Stay clear of power lines made closer by deep snows away from power lines and not try to go under or near low-hanging power lines. For their safety, we are asking all of our customers and anyone visiting mountain areas that have experienced snowfall to be extremely careful. • A power line down behind a residence in Arch Street was reported at 1:46 p.m. in the Ante- lope area of Red Bluff. • Red Bluff Fire responded at 4:22 p.m. to a snapped power pole with lines down on Jeffer- son Street after someone reported a power pole was smoking.

Parent involvement and educational achievement •The most effective forms of parent involvement are those, which engage parents in working directly with their children on learning activities at home. Impact • 86 percent of the general public believes that support from parents is the most important way to improve the schools. • Lack of parental involvement is the biggest problem fac- ing public schools. • Decades of research show that when parents are involved students have: Lauren Tingley Higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates, better school attendance, increased motiva- tion, better self-esteem, lower rates of suspension, decreased use of drugs and alcohol, fewer instances of violent behavior • Family participation in education was twice as predictive of students’ academic success as family socioeco- nomic status. Some of the more intensive programs had effects that were 10 times greater than other fac- tors. • The more intensely parents are involved, the more beneficial the achievement effects. • The more parents par- ticipate in schooling, in a sustained way, at every level -- in advocacy, deci- sion-making and oversight roles, as fund-raisers and boosters, as volunteers and para-professionals, and as home teachers -- the better for student achievement.
