- About Our Website
-
Our Roanoke City Public Schools websites have been created with our students and families in mind. There is something special happening in Roanoke City Public Schools, and this new online experience reflects the values, energy, excitement, and diversity of the school division, the students and families, and the City of Roanoke.
The division-level and school websites strive to be transparent, accessible, and welcoming, allowing you to easily find what you are looking for. Click on the drop-down below to learn more about new website features, and email info@rcps.info with your feedback, questions, and suggestions!

AudioEye Accessibility Tool
AudioEye is an accessibility tool integrated into all RCPS websites that allows users to navigate and view the site more easily. You will see the AudioEye accessibility icon at the bottom right side of the website. Users can click to expand the toolbar to change the text size, contrast, have links and buttons highlighted, and more.
AudioEye also works behind the scenes to scan the sites on a regular basis and make updates as needed. This ensures RCPS websites are accessible to all users. AudioEye meets U.S. and global accessibility standards, including the American with Disabilities Act and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Global Icons
You'll notice "Global Icons" on the homepage of all websites. These icons are direct links to some of the most commonly-used webpages and external websites. These icons are present at the bottom of all webpages, too, so you are only ever one click away from the information you need.

Quick Links
Toward the bottom of the home page of all sites is a tabbed Quick Links tool. This includes commonly-used links for different types of website users. Students, for example, have quick access to web-based programs they frequently use in the classrooms.
