Transforming Lives Through Chapel

One of the most wonderful things that happens at Cornerstone is chapel. From the precious singing of second-graders to the student-led worship time in high school, our chapels are created specifically for their respective age groups. 


Each year, much thought and prayer goes into deciding the overall theme for chapel. The following themes are ones that have been impressed upon Pastor Nolan's heart for the 2019-20 school year, and we're so excited to share them with you.

Towing Signs Are Posted

NEW

We experienced some illegally parked vehicles on our campus over the summer. This has prompted us to establish a towing contract with a company recommended to us by the Acworth police.

Our goal is the safety of our families and facility. We are aware that there may be times that students or parents need to leave their vehicle parked overnight. We request that you let us know by completing the Overnight Parking Request Form so we do not inadvertently have your vehicle towed.


Collect Pop Tabs and Help Families in Need

NEW

Please save the pop tabs from energy drinks, soup cans, or anything with a metallic tab. Collect tabs at home in a container or a baggy, then bring it to our collection container in the Den. This is such an easy way to help make a difference.

The pop tabs are recycled, and Ronald McDonald House receives the market value of the recycled metal. This is our third year helping families in need!


Deadline For Semester Schedule Change Is Mon, Aug 12 @ 4 p.m.

REVISED

In case you didn't know:

  • Change requests depend upon availability and are processed in the order they are received. 

  • Please allow 48 hours for any requested changes.

Parents and students can find a full description of our uniform policy in the Parent-Student Handbook.

  • T-shirts, whether short or long-sleeved, are not outerwear and may not be worn to class on any school days.
