Impact Aid Forms...

Impact Aid Forms

Richland School District Two schools are funded primarily by local taxes. Due to the large federal presence in our area and the tax exemptions available to federally connected personnel, businesses and agencies; our district 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.  The Impact Aid Program funds become part of Richland School District Two's general operating budget and are critical to maintaining high standards for educational excellence. Your assistance is needed in identifying students that may be federally connected as of our survey date, November 29, 2018.  Impact Aid Program Survey Forms were distributed to all students on November 29, 2018. Please take a few minutes and complete the form for each Richland Two student in your household and return it back tomorrow. The information you provide on these forms is confidential.
Thank you for supporting our schools.

Letters About Literature Contest...

Each year the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress in partnership with affiliate state centers for the book, invites readers in grades 4-12 to enter Letters About Literature, a national reading-writing contest. To enter, readers write a personal letter to an author, living or dead, from any genre—fiction or nonfiction, contemporary or classic, explaining how that author’s work changed the student’s way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for children in grades 4-6; Level II for grades 7 & 8, and Level III, grades 9–12.  

Visit http://readsc.org/letters-about-literature for more information.
