Accessibility

Everyone Is Welcome Here

The Wilkinsburg School District is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We believe everyone should have equal access to the information, resources, and services available through our website, and we are continuously working to provide an inclusive online experience. 

We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which are recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and other applicable accessibility requirements.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As our website continues to grow and technology evolves, we regularly review our content and make improvements to enhance accessibility and usability for all users.

We work to make our website easier to navigate and use by:

  • Organizing content with clear headings and page structure.
  • Providing descriptive alternative text for images whenever appropriate.
  • Using meaningful link text.
  • Maintaining sufficient color contrast for readability.
  • Designing pages that can be navigated using a keyboard.
  • Supporting compatibility with assistive technologies, including screen readers.

Third-Party Content

Some information on our website is provided through third-party vendors or linked applications, such as online forms, documents, calendars, and other external services. While we encourage these providers to meet recognized accessibility standards, we may not have full control over the accessibility of their content. If you experience difficulty accessing information provided by a third party, please contact us so we can assist you or provide the information in an alternative format.
