Message From Project Cornerstone:

We will be discussing BIG by Coleen Paratore. It's a new book...BIG goes beyond the basics to show that size is more than a matter of height. Touching on ideas such as health, citizenship, and imagination, this book can be the key to heartfelt dialogue between children and caregivers about the importance of values over valuables.

As part of this book, we, as a school, are going to collect leftover/surplus Halloween candy. We will be sending the candy to  military overseas.

Thanks for your support! :)

Message about Attendance

A Message from the Office Regarding Attendance

 

If you are planning a trip and your child will be absent for more than 4 school days, you MUST contact the school office at least 10 school days in advance to make arrangements for an Independent Study. Without an Independent Study, students who are absent for an unexcused reason for more than 4 days will be dis-enrolled from Country Lane. Don't let this happen to your child! Contact the office at 408-874-3400 as soon as you know your child will be missing school. Thank you!
