Student Supply
Fee

The PowerSchool Parent
Portal is an excellent way
for parents to stay up-todate on their students’
progress in school. The
Parent Portal provides
parents (and students)
access to grades,
attendance records,
schedules and is available
from any computer with
Internet access.
The system was
closed in June for
summer maintenance
and enhancements. It
re-opened when the
new school year began.
Usernames and passwords
will remain the same.
Directions about
resetting a forgotten
password are available on
PowerSchool Parent Portal
site.

All CCS students are
asked to a supply fee each
school year. The fee is $10/
student per school year.
All fees collected will be
used at the school where
the student is enrolled.
Parents may pay the fee
by sending it to school with
their student(s) or they
may pay online through the
school’s website. Schools
will use the fees collected
to help offset reductions
to the instructional supply
budget.
Community members
also may donate to a
general Student Supply
Fee Fund that will be
distributed among the
district’s schools.
Other fees may be
assessed for specific
classes or other enrichment
opportunities.
