Attention Car Riders

We want to make sure all of our dolphins arrive and leave school safely. In order to accomplish this, we ask that all parents/families please practice safety and patience while in the car rider line. Also, please practice your child's car rider number - this ensures smooth progress of the line.

7 Habit Spotlight

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Do you ever discuss what your child wants to be when they grow up? It may seem early for some students, especially kindergartners, but thinking about your end goal makes planning the steps easier. Begin having these discussions with your child; you may find their answers intriguing! 

Remember, you are your child's biggest cheerleader - encourage them to set and achieve goals, then celebrate!

School Fees

Richland Two's new fee management program, Acorn, offers an online solution for the management and collection of students’ school fees. With real-time integration with PowerSchool, parents are able to pay school fees and assessments online with a single sign-on from Parent Portal. The system is able to discount student fees for our free/reduced populations. Administrators and bookkeepers will appreciate the added assistance Acorn gives in reporting budgeting revenues generated from the collection of fees.
