a. Out of all the resources available to the student's parents on the CCSD website,

I believe that as a teacher the most important resource that I would make the

parents aware of is the Campus Portal. It is the easiest way to keep up with your

child’s progress in every class. It also shows them their child’s attendance,

academic planner, and other important information. It is a great application to

make sure their kids are maintaining good grades and know in what areas they are

struggling so they can seek help for them in that subject.
