Accessibility Statement
It is the goal of Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 that the information on this website is accessible to individuals with visual, hearing or cognitive disabilities. We want everyone who visits the FFC8 website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding. Good faith efforts are being made to ensure that our website and digital resources comply with web accessibility standards.
What are we doing?
To help us make the FFC8 website a positive place for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.
The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the FFC8 website.
How are we doing?
We've worked hard on the FFC8 website and believe we've achieved our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch.
The majority of pages in our site are available in HTML format that can be deciphered by screen readers. Some documents are in Adobe PDF format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view.

In addition, some documents are in Google Docs, Google Forms, Google Sheets or Google Slides format. Most modern browsers and screen readers can view and decipher Google-based documents. You can learn more about accessibility of Google web products at the Google Accessibility website.
