In This Issue Reminders for Parents

Parents—Please DO NOT use the area by the bank parking lot for drop off in the mornings. This is a teacher

parking area and makes it very difficult for our teachers to park and not very safe for our students to walk.

THANK YOU!

*Students must be on campus for at least half a day to participate in school athletics,

activities or events that afternoon/evening. *Students cannot have a bare midriff at any

sporting event, whether home or away.

Per the Parent Handbook: K-5 parents must arrive to

pick up their child by 3pm, and 2pm on Wednesday.

After 3pm students will be escorted by our aftercare

instructors to our field house where parents will be

charged $1.00 per minute they are late.

If your student is coming to school late, you MUST walk them in and sign them in—even High School students must have an adult sign them in to school. Students who are not signed in by a parent will have to wait until that parent returns to sign them in.

Click HERE to update your ADDitions application;

make sure that Cornerstone Charter K-8 and/or Cornerstone Charter High School are

added to your list of schools at which you volunteer.

Letters regarding hours went home last Friday with students in grades K-5. There were several that were incorrect due to a processing error, so we will

be sending home another round of letters (this time to ALL grades) before the 4 day weekend next week. These letters will reflect all hours reported through

October 16. Please remember, these letters are simply an "FYI" regarding your hours.

After receiving the letters next week, if there seem to be discrepancies based on your records as of October 16, please follow the instructions in the letter

to address the issues most effectively. Thank you for your patience!

Possible Preschool On Our Campus Cornerstone is pursuing the possibility of starting a private preschool on our campus.

This preschool would not be a VPK, but rather a paid for private preschool. The school

would serve students who turn four years old on or before September 1, 2014. The

school would not be part of our K-12 but a convenient option for our community.

If you have a child entering preschool during the 2014-2015 school year and may be

interested please email Mrs. Downey to add your name to the list of possible students

The mission of the Edible Garden Club at Cornerstone Charter Academy is to awaken the senses of students by means of organic gardening through collaboration between community and students at ALL grade levels, and to design appealing landscape, which can be wholly incorporated into the school’s curriculum, culture, and whole food understanding. We will affect your child in many ways, with education being our top priority as they ENJOY learning the aspects of farming without the focus being a ‘means to an end’ but the entire journey of nourishment pertaining to the mind, body, and stewardship of the ground that we depend upon.

Registration is now open for the Fall session 10/22– 12/10 Grades: K – 12th students Tuesdays 3:00 - 4:00 This is a FREE club. Pick up 4:00 sharp at the K line benches.
