Is it really important to read every day, even during the summer?

Yes! Research shows that students who read over breaks from school return to 
school better prepared than those students who took a vacation from 
reading!

Is it important to arrive to school on time?

We cannot stress enough the importance of having your child to school on 
time. We start the business of learning promptly each day! When students 
arrive late, they miss the opportunity to visit with friends, take care of 
sharpening pencils, handing in work, etc. These morning "rituals" allow 
students to mentally prepare as they transition from home to school. Tardy 
students interrupt the flow of the morning's lesson for the other students, 
as well. And most importantly, we have found that late students spend much 
of the morning trying to get caught up and feeling rushed, which is not in 
line with brain-based research that indicates that students learn best in a 
relaxed learning environment.

Can I have lunch with my child from time to time?

Certainly! Cornerstone encourages parents to have lunch with their students. 
Make sure you always sign in with the office, though, and pick up a 
visitor's pass.  The office must, at any given time, know who is on campus 
each day.

What happens if my child forgets to bring his/her lunch?

Don't worry!  We keep a SMALL supply of extra lunches and snacks just for 
these occasions.  We ask that parents replace these items at their 
convenience.
