Congratulations to Cornerstone Academy for winning School of the Year at the annual leadership summit held this July. The school was recognized for outstanding leadership, student attendance, and academic performance.

“Cornerstone Academy is a phenomenal school that has been quietly and consistently raising its profile in the landscape of charter school education in Ohio,” said ACCEL Schools CEO Ron Packard who presented the awards on July 17.

During the pandemic, the Cornerstone leadership team maintained a large student body while opening a high school and expanding to a second campus location. Packard highlighted the school’s remarkable academic outcomes. “Despite serving nearly a thousand students, they have increased their PI year-over-year to just shy of 90 points.”

Recognizing the hard work and success of our schools and school leaders is an important tradition at ACCEL Schools. While schools across the country are still recovering from challenges related to the pandemic, we have seen a surge in success from schools serving historically underrecognized communities.

Cornerstone Academy received the following 2023 ACCELY awards:

School of the Year

Outstanding Student Attendance

Highest Score, English Language Arts

Highest Score, Math

Highest Overall Score

Congratulations to every member of our Cornerstone Academy community for contributing to our success in 2023. We are honored to accept these Accely awards on behalf of our entire team and look forward to another extraordinary school year.

New to online learning? Worried about preparing for fall? Want to make sure your child can stay on track?  Don’t worry, we have you covered!

 

We have created a plan that is simple to follow no matter what grade your student is in!

• Every day, make sure your student is logged in by 8:00am
• Every day, your student will meet online with their teachers. You will be provided with a schedule the first week of school.
• Not all learning will happen online. There will be time every day to students to practice what they have learned independently offline.
• Your school will give you a schedule to help keep you on track and prepped for success.

You and your student have a login. You have a schedule. You have great teachers.

We just need a couple of things from you to help make this a great year.

• Set up a work area for your student that is quiet and free of distractions.
• Log in to Canvas every day with your observer account to help your student stay on track.
• Take the parent orientation course to teach you about all the great tools that Canvas has to keep you and your student on track.
