Our commitment
We want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who are blind, have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, have trouble using a mouse, or have a learning or reading difference. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. No website is perfect. If something on this site gets in your way, please tell us, and we will work to fix it.
Accessibility tools on every page
Choose the Accessibility button at the top of the page (it is the first thing a keyboard or screen reader user reaches, after the skip link). It opens a panel with these tools. Your choices are saved on your own device only. We do not collect them.
- Text size: Standard, Large, Larger, or Largest.
- High contrast: black background, white text, and yellow links.
- Underline all links so they do not depend on color.
- Easier-to-read font and more space between lines and letters.
- Stop animations.
- Read this page aloud, with pause, stop, and speed controls. You can select part of the page first to hear only that part.
- Captions on videos turned on by default when a video has them.
If you are blind or have low vision
- This site is built to work with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Pages use headings, landmarks, labeled forms, and a “Skip to main content” link.
- Everything can be used with a keyboard. Menus open with Enter and close with Escape. Tab groups move with the arrow keys.
- Images that carry meaning have a text description. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- You can enlarge text, use high contrast, and have the page read aloud. If you already use a screen reader, you do not need the read-aloud tool.
- The read-aloud tool uses a voice on your own device. On some browsers, that voice may be supplied by an online service.
- Need a document in large print, Braille, or an accessible electronic file? Ask us and we will provide it.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing
- You never have to call us. Use the request form, or email the school office. We reply by email.
- Relay service: if you prefer to call, dial 711 to reach a relay operator who can place the call for you. Give the operator our phone number below.
- Videos and recordings: we add captions and a written transcript to the videos and audio we publish here. If you find one without them, tell us and we will provide them.
- Important notices are written. We do not rely on sound alone to tell you something.
Ask for captions, an interpreter, or another format
Tell us what you need for a school event, a meeting with a teacher, an online class, or a document: live captioning, a sign language interpreter, a transcript, large print, or another format. Choose Accessibility support in the “I am interested in” list on the request form, and describe what you need in the message. Please ask as early as you can so we have time to arrange it.
Tell us about a barrier
If you find something you cannot use, tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and what happened. Include the device, browser, or assistive technology you use if you can. We will look into it and answer by email. Send us a message.
Limits
Some content comes from other companies, such as Google Classroom and Edgenuity. Those services have their own accessibility features. If you have trouble with them, tell us and we will help you find another way to do your work.
