Dismissal Overview
Cornerstone Christian School will begin using KidAccount to manage student dismissal. Parents will use the KidAccount app on their smartphones to submit transportation changes and report student absences.
Please click the link below for instructions on downloading and setting up the app:
Reporting an Absence
Parents must notify the school office whenever their child will be absent. Please use the appropriate reporting method below:
Doctor’s Note Available: Complete the online absence form and upload the doctor’s note at https://excused.csjax.org/
No Doctor’s Note: Report the absence using the KidAccount app.
Dismissal Changes
All changes to a student’s afternoon dismissal method must be submitted through the KidAccount app. Parents may schedule either a one-time or recurring change, such as changing from car rider to bus rider.
Same-day dismissal changes must be submitted through the KidAccount app no later than 1:00pm.
Late Sign-In
Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. must sign in using the iPad kiosk in the Front Office. Students will need to use their Student ID badge to complete the sign-in process.
Early Check-Out
Students leaving school early must be signed out in the Front Office by a parent or authorized person using the iPad kiosk. The person picking up the student must scan their driver’s license at the kiosk.
For the safety of our students and staff, early check-outs are not permitted between 2:00pm. and 3:00pm, for any reason. Regular dismissal begins at 3:00pm.
Dismissal Procedures
Bus Riders
Students who ride a Cornerstone school bus in the afternoon will receive a Student ID badge. Before the bus leaves campus, the bus driver will scan each student’s badge as they board. Students must have their badge ready when entering the bus each afternoon.
If a Student ID badge is lost or damaged, please complete the Replacement Request Form.

Car Line
Each student dismissed through the car line will receive a Dismissal Sign displaying the student’s name and a barcode. During dismissal, parents should place the sign on the vehicle’s dashboard where it is clearly visible through the windshield and can be easily scanned by a staff member.
If a parent or authorized person arrives without the student’s Dismissal Sign, they must present a valid driver’s license or other photo identification to the staff member assisting with carline dismissal.
If a Dismissal Sign is lost or damaged, please complete the Replacement Request Form.
