Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is IHMCS using Cornerstone Student Management System? |
This SMS provides a centralized location for teacher gradebooks, attendance, lunch count, report cards as well as family contact information. School staff use the information located here daily. A centralized location makes our work more efficient and protects your child's privacy by placing information in one place, accessible only to school staff who need access.
An Archdiocesan task force found that Cornerstone provided the best product for use in the Catholic schools. Cornerstone was originally developed for private schools under the previous name ChurchWerks. |
Is my child's information safe?YES!
Cornerstone and other school information systems take precautions to ensure the security of your child's personal information. For example: Only teachers that your child has can access their information. Only office staff and administrators have access to health records. Cornerstone takes precautions to enforce data privacy laws. DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD with anyone in your family! Students will eventually receive a username/password. |
I can't remember my password! What do I do now? |
Users have 15 attempts to login correctly before you receive a "suspended" notice.
You can create security questions and answers to help you if you have tried to login and it does not work. If you receive a notice, please email IHMCS Cornerstone Support. It may take up to 24 hours during the work week to remove your login suspension. |
Why can I see homework grades for my child in grades 5-8, but I can't see grades for my child in grades K-4? |
You can find Report Cards and Attendance for ALL students.
Students in grades 5-8 receive a grade which many of us had when we were in school and can interpret what it means. However, students in grades K-4 don't have the same amount of homework and don't receive A-F grades. Developmentally, assigning hours of homework in the lower grades doesn't make sense! Your child's teacher can offer a much better description of your child's progress by other means. Make sure you check the photos and information that your child's teachers post on their websites! |
