Dress Code and Personal Appearance Standards

Introduction
 

The way that students, staff, and volunteers dress has an impact on the tone of the school; therefore, all are expected to dress appropriately for their particular roles. How they dress must demonstrate respect for themselves, others, and the school as a whole. Cornerstone’s dress code is based on Biblical principles of modesty as outlined in our policy manual.

Cornerstone’s standard of dress and appearance demonstrates that it is a place of dignity and respect. Our expectations minimize distractions from learning. The dress code is in effect during the school day, during extracurricular activities, class field trips, and any other school related function that may happen in or out of the school.
 

School administration reserves the right to have individuals change clothing which is deemed inappropriate for the learning environment of Cornerstone Christian School.

There are several items in our lost & found bins both in the elementary and high school wings.  We also have several smaller items in the office that we'd love to find owners for!  This includes many watches, keys and glasses (yes....perscription glasses!)  If you've lost something, this is a good time to come and have a look as these items will be donated to the Salvation Army at the end of the school year.

The 2012-2013 School Calendar is available to download under the "Downloads/Forms" Menu in the enrollment package section.  Click on the link, then choose Enrollment Package and then download the 2012-2013 Calendar.  This Calendar does not have all the CCS events listed on it as of yet as dates are still being solidified.  The days off and major vacations are highlighted.  The calendar will be updated when the CCS events are firmed up.   

The Grade 4-6 Track and field Day is June 5th, 2012.  Students will be bussed to Gutheridge Field around 12:30 that day but will need to be picked up by parents after the event or have arranged rides home from Gutheridge field.  Busses will be running as normal for all other students at the school.

Have you ever considered having the opportunity to host an exchange student?  This is an amazing chance to show a stranger the Canadian culture, family life, and show them the love of Christ at the same time.  For many of these students you may be the only avenue they will have to learn about these things.  The students are well chosen for their excellent behavior and attention to academics.  They have been screened by references including teachers and government officials as well as the exchange student organization they are sponsored by.  If you think you would be interested or would just like to ask about it for next year's school year, please email the office at or phone 693.2937.   If interested in being a host family next year, please contact Mr. Scott Robertson at 693-2937 ext. 235.
