Important Updates
Statewide Databases Access
The front page of our AEA site directs people to our statewide resources Some, not all, of the statewide database vendors removed login requirements temporarily. Families have two ways to access the resources.
- The front page links viewers to the databases (including the ones that removed login requirements) as well as other at home opportunities. This page will be removed once school resumes back to normal.
- Students can still login the traditional way by clicking on the digital resources link and enter login/username information. The information shared 2 weeks ago remains the same for families. We monitor email constantly to provide support for families and/or educators.
- We have also created an At Home Learning Opportunities document that lists other resources available to parents and families. The link for this is also available on the digital resources page.
It is your decision if and how you would like to communicate this; consider consulting with your administration. Keep in mind that the traditional login/password will be required when school resumes back to normal for all databases.

Statewide Databases & Government Resources
Our statewide databases have updated content on COVID-19. Teen Health & Wellness provides reliable, balanced, readable, & age-appropriate information focused more on the social emotional aspect. Gale has a multitude of resources. Learn360 provides a concise Slim Goodbody video created for grades 4-8. All are available through the individual databases or Scout!
