Accessibility Information

This website forms a living document and is regularly updated. We strive to make them universally accessible. We try to minimize the use of graphics and photos and provide descriptions of them when they are included. Video clips are open-captioned, providing access to users who can't hear the audio. Suggestions for increasing the accessibility of these pages are welcome (equity@mlsd161.org).
 
We have added a feature that is called PageAssist. It is available on all of our pages in the bottom right-hand corner and looks like a small person within a circle.

When you hover over it, you will see text that says "Discover your personalization options", and the company name for the service appears under the person logo. That text says Monsido.

Discover your personalization options.

After clicking in this box, you will now see a toolbar across the bottom of the webpage.
