Passwords for Databases
Our databases are meant to be used only by CASHS students and faculty. Thus, you will need a password (and sometimes a username) to access each database. If you are a CASD student or faculty member, you will be able to click on the heading above ("Passwords for Databases") to access a Google Doc that has the necessary log-in information for each database. Please do not share this information with those outside of our district.
Each database offers different types of information. Choose the database that best matches the kind of information you need.
