"The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect."
-Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
Website accessibility and inclusiveness for all users is a high priority at ABS Elementary. We want everyone to be able to access information in order to be successful in their online searches. By integrating many tools for a variety of disabilities, our students/staff/parents will have an advantage to using our site. If you have trouble accessing any part of the library website please email me at misty.hinckley@lockhart.txed.net and we will make every effort to make changes to suit your needs!
