Media Statement Concerning Cornerstone Elementary School

ATTENTION — CORNERSTONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ONLY — FACULTY, STAFF, and PARENTS

 

Due to ongoing repairs of the Cornerstone Air Conditioning System that may continue through this Friday, the following adjustments are necessary for Wednesday, October 2, 2019; Thursday, October 3, 2019, and Friday, October 4, 2019:

 

All students will arrive and be dismissed from Cornerstone Elementary School as usual for the remainder of this week. Students will be bused from Cornerstone to Baxter Primary and Upperman Middle School and then be returned from those schools to Cornerstone for regular afternoon dismissal.

 

All 2nd-grade Cornerstone students will be bused and attend classes with their teachers at Baxter Primary School on Wednesday and Thursday.  Breakfast and lunch will be served at Baxter Primary School.

 

All 3rd and 4th-grade students will be bused and attend classes with their teachers at Upperman Middle School on Wednesday and Thursday.  Breakfast and lunch will be served at Upperman Middle School.

 

On Friday, October 4, 2019, 2nd-grade students will have their DoJo celebration at Baxter Park. 3rd and 4th-grade students will have their DoJo celebration at Cane Creek Park. Breakfast and sack lunches will be provided at both locations on that day.

 

Morning and afternoon LEAPS will be canceled Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week.

 

A status update will be provided via school messenger tomorrow afternoon.  If the event the air conditioning system is repaired, Cornerstone will return to a regular schedule for all students in the Cornerstone Elementary School facility.

 

Cornerstone office staff will be available at both schools to assist parents of the students of Cornerstone Elementary School.

I will be available to provide updates tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, by that time we will have answers to what repairs need to be made and a timeline for the repair. Thank you and have a good evening.
