School/Home Communication

All children benefit from personal attention.  Children enjoy being singled out for specific praise and recognition.  Cornerstone Christan Academy promotes this kind of personal attention by limiting class sizes to no more than 12 students and through the the active involvement of parents and other volunteers.  Our goal is for teachers and administrators to know and love every student in a way that will encourage the student to live up to his/her own potential and to work cooperatively with others.

CCA seeks to assist parents in the Christian nurture and education of their children.  It is our belief that parents are responsible for educating their children (Deuteronomy 4:9 and 6:6-9).  Parents are encouraged to participate at all organizational levels - volunteering in and out of the classroom, serving on the faculty or staff, working on the school board.  We welcome parent and grandparent visitations to the classroom and encourage parents to join their children for lunch when schedules permit.  As an independent Christian and classical school, Cornerstone Christian Academy  is run by members of the Cornerstone Christian
Academy Parent Teacher Fellowship (CCAPTF).  Parents are encouraged and expected to participate in CCAPTF meetings and activities.  Parental involvement and support at special services, programs, and annual fund-raising events are also expected. 

Although parents are invited to consult with teachers at any time, there is one mandatory parent/teacher conference.  This is scheduled following the first grading period.  At least one parent/guardian must attend and both parents are encouraged to attend.  Either a parent or teacher may schedule additional conferences if desired.
