another strain on them. As a school, one communication practice that promotes cultural
awareness is that we will provide extra materials that the students will need in the classroom.
This will let the parents know that the school is aware of the family's needs and is willing to

students and adults (Elias, 2021). Students coming from lower income families face struggles
that can affect their learning. Some might be more concerned about when they are going to eat,
