Website Help and Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

Harvard Public Schools committed to making our websites user-friendly and accessible for all users including users with disabilities.

We are in the process of reviewing all of our web content to make sure all pages are accessible and compliant with Web Accessibility Standards developed by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Technology Services and Security (EOTSS).

PDF documents are the most common type of file format used to post various documents on-line. While being the best format for printing, pdf documents could present a challenge for screen readers.

We create most of our PDF documents using Microsoft Word Accessibility Checker and convert to PDF using the “Best for electronic distribution and accessibility” option.
