Guidance Counseling
The role of the School Counselor at Cornerstone is to support students to discover and develop the gifts that God has bestowed — academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually and as they begin to explore careers for their future. This support is offered through collaborative work with students, parents and teachers to identify and remove barriers to learning; developing and supporting teachers in delivering classroom lessons that teach social and emotional skills such as respecting others, resolving conflicts as well as career exploration with God’s word as guide; individual and small group work with students; providing support during personal crisis; coordinating referrals to outside agencies; serving as a resource for parents and teachers.
Additionally, students in grades 4-6 participate in a weekly program – Mindfulness Through Movement where they learn simple breath and movement practices that have been shown to help students manage stress, emotions and promote relaxation so that their minds are open to learn. -

A free breakfast and lunch program is available daily for all students. A “Grab ‘n Go” Breakfast is offered every morning during Morning Care from 7:10 – 7:30 AM. A typical breakfast consists of a whole grain entrée such as an apple cinnamon muffin, a half-pint of low-fat or fat-free milk, and two servings of fruit. Outside breakfast must be eaten before students arrive to school.
A healthy lunch is available for students each day or students can bring their lunch. Please be aware that microwave ovens are not available for students bringing lunch. Parents choosing to bring lunch during the lunch period, must adhere to the scheduled lunch periods. Students cannot eat lunch after their lunch period ends.
