Curriculum Night

📚 Curriculum Night


We’re looking forward to welcoming our Cornerstone families to Curriculum Night! This is a wonderful opportunity to visit your child's classroom, connect with teachers, learn more about what your student will be learning this year, and hear about classroom expectations, routines, and goals. (Due to space restrictions, this is an "adults only" event.)


Elementary Families

🍎 Session One: 6:30–7:00 PM

🍎 Session Two (if needed for multiple children): 7:05–7:35 PM


Elementary teachers will hold two identical info sessions for their classroom, so if you have two students you can choose which grade level to attend first. If you have more than two elementary students, parents will need to "divide and conquer". Families with one elementary and one middle school student will need to attend the elementary session first, as the group MS session is only offered during the second session.


Middle School Families

📘 7:05–7:35 PM

📍 Chapel


We value the partnership between home and school and hope you’ll join us for this important evening. We look forward to seeing our Cornerstone families there!

September 15-17th
