FEDERAL IMPACT SURVEY
What is it?
Richland School District Two schools are funded primarily by local taxes. However, due to the large federal presence in our area and the tax exemptions available to federally-connected personnel, businesses, and agencies, Richland School District Two is eligible to apply for federal Impact Aid funds.
Impact Aid is a federal program designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students. Federally connected students are children of active duty uniformed services personnel, children who live on federal property, and children whose parents work on federal property. The Impact Aid Program funds become a part of Richland School District Two’s general operating budget and are critical to maintaining high standards for educational excellence.
What do I have to do?
We need your assistance in identifying students with federal connections. This year families can complete this form online via Parent Portal. All you have to do is log into your parent portal account and complete the Impact Aid Survey. The survey can be completed in 5 minutes or less. The survey must be completed for each of your students.
Before we donate the Lost and Found items, we are asking parents to claim their children's belongings. All Lost and Found items will be donated on February 1st.
PTO is only accepting cash in advance for this event.
All tickets MUST be purchased by Monday, February 3rd to attend the dance on the 10th. PTO is NOT accepting any money at the event.
Cashapp is NOT an option for this event.
Directory Information in Parent Portal
Some of you may have received an email from Richland Two regarding your student's directory information. If you initially chose the option to not allow Richland Two to share certain information, such as name and/or photo this means that we at Sandlapper are also not able to include your child in any publications including but not limited to our yearbook, class pictures, award/promotion programs, Family Night celebrations, honor rolls, etc. If you would like to change your student's choice so we can include your child(ren) in publications, such as the yearbook, watch the video below.
