Gale Online Resources

The district is providing online resources for our students and families! You have access to all of them, but the two recommended databases are Kids InfoBits (elementary) and Research In Context (upper elementary/middle school). You will need a password to access the databases. The password is sunshine. The resource is also available through the Core with your child's login.
