Core Google Workspace for Education Apps

These essential tools are part of the standard Google Workspace suite:

  • Gmail – School email and primary communication hub.

  • Google Drive – Cloud storage for files, assignments, and collaboration.

  • Docs, Sheets, Slides – Real-time collaborative word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation tools.

  • Google Forms – Create quizzes, surveys, and collect responses, which can feed into Sheets.

  • Google Calendar – Schedule classes, meetings, and keep track of deadlines.

  • Google Classroom – Centrally manage assignments, distribute materials, and engage students.

  • Google Chat and Google Meet – Messaging and video conferencing for collaboration (Staff Only).

  • Google Tasks – Integrated to-do list across Gmail and Calendar.

Our IT team creates all staff username accounts with the following template:

🚨 Security Alert: Protect Yourself from Email Phishing

Phishing emails are one of the most common ways attackers try to steal your personal information, passwords, or gain access to school accounts. Please follow these best practices to stay safe:

✅ Best Practices

  • Think before you click – Hover over links to verify the web address before opening.

  • Check the sender – Confirm the email is from a trusted source (look carefully at spelling in the sender’s address).

  • Look for red flags – Urgent requests, poor spelling/grammar, or offers that seem too good to be true are often scams.

  • Don’t open unexpected attachments – Only open files you are expecting and from people you know.

  • Verify requests for sensitive information – CCA IT will never ask for your password over email.

  • Report suspicious emails – If you are unsure, forward the email to helpdesk@cornerstonephiladelphia.com 

⚠️ Remember

Your CCA account is the key to email, learning systems, and school apps. Keeping it secure protects you and the school community.
