Cornerstone's Commitment To Shining The Light of Life The teachers and staff at Cornerstone pursue the purpose Jesus has placed on their life and they do it with great joy out of true love for the students they serve.
Read on as Pastor Nolan shares what sets our school apart from others and how we are all committed to the same goal, shining The Light of Life!
NEW Our new faculty members were on campus today for their new staff orientation. This feels like one more monumental step toward Cornerstone's on-campus classes to begin on Mon, Aug 10. In the meantime, our staff is working hard to do everything possible to ensure the health of our students, staff, and families. Our faculty and assistants will be learning and practicing the more intense daily cleaning routines during our faculty in-service week beginning August 3. As we review these new protocols for continual daily sanitation of classrooms and high traffic areas, it is clear that the large number of adults and students typically on campus for our traditional back-to-school events would not permit the depth of cleaning and sanitation that we would like between each group. For this reason, we have made the decision that the content for the elementary meet and greet, the elementary parent training day, and the secondary back to school day will all be shared in a virtual format rather than in person. The exception is that all kindergarten parents and all elementary new parents will be invited to small group face-to-face training with each classroom teacher. We will share more details about this virtual format and elementary new parent small group training and what that means for you within the next couple of days.
