Preparing for Your
Parent Program

Your son or daughter has a list of things to do to prepare for orientation.(pdf) Here are suggestions for you to benefit most from your participation in the parent orientation program:

  • Remember to have a pencil or pen and something to write on so you can take notes and jot down questions.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • Dress appropriately for very warm Chico summer weather. However, we also recommend you bring a sweater or sweatshirt, as some of the air-conditioned buildings may get chilly! Check the weather.
  • Be ready to learn a wealth of information!
  • Make sure to park in the designated lots. Click here for parking information and directions.
  • Need lodging accommodations or travel information? Check out our Travel & Accommodations section for recommendations in the local Chico area.
