Cornerstone Juniors are Leading by Example Since 1989, Cobb Youth Leadership Program (CYL) has been giving high school juniors a unique opportunity to learn about their community as well as interact with students from other high schools. This year, we are proud to announce that two of our Cornerstone juniors, Abigail Larsen and Matthew Garner, were accepted into the program.

Mrs. Cosgrove, director of school counseling, will host an advisement meeting for current 6th grade students and families to help them understand the registration process for middle school and which specific courses students should choose. She will also discuss study tips and time management. Grade 6 | Thu, Jan 23, at 7:40 a.m. in the Den | For parents and students Please contact Mrs. Cosgrove with any questions. NEW We look forward to Grandparents Day each year. Students are excited to honor their grandparents or mentor and show them all they are accomplishing at school. Let grandparents know to save the date:
If your child's grandparents are unable to attend, feel free to invite a neighbor, friend, or other relative to be a stand-in grandparent. NEW Collection from Tue, Jan 7: $83.90 Our next collection is Tue, Feb 4.
We also accept donations through Paypal. Click Here to donate to Cornerstone Cares. Please indicate "cc" in the memo line. School is back in session. Please remember:
Now that we are in spring semester, please consider dropping your student off in carline or at the welcome desk instead of walking them down the hall to their classroom in the mornings. At this point in the school year, students are comfortable in the building and are familiar with where their rooms and lockers are. Dropping them off and allowing them to walk to their classroom helps them to become more independent! It also assists us in keeping the building secure in the mornings. If you do need to help your child to their room, please stop by the welcome desk and get a green visitor sticker and then return the sticker when you leave the building. If you need to speak with a teacher, please email them to set up an appointment. Our teachers value the time before school to focus on their students and the day ahead.
All students and parents returning to Cornerstone for 2020-21 are asked to attend their respective advisement session with Mrs. Cosgrove. Important information about registration and schedules will be discussed. In the 8th grade session, how to help students transition to high school will also be discussed.
