Outdoor Wifi Zone Available

Richland Two now offers outdoor Wi-Fi zones for our students to connect to the Internet using their district-issued Chromebook or a personal device.

Supporting students during the school closure is the district's main focus right now. In addition to providing e-learning/remote learning content for students and meals for children, Richland Two administrators have been committed to helping families who do not have Internet access at home. District staff members have explored several possibilities over the past two weeks. As a result of some premier teamwork, wireless equipment has been installed outside of several schools. Now families can park their cars in the designated locations, connect to the Internet and access their students' e-learning assignments. The outdoor Wi-Fi zones will be accessible seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.


Additional Information

  • District provided devices should connect to the rsd2-secure wifi network automatically when in range.
  • District staff and students are also able to connect personal devices to this wifi network.
  • Devices not provided by the district may connect with no account information required to the
rsd2-open wifi network. Just select it from your device, and it should connect. The rsd2-open wifi
network is not encrypted. Use at your own risk.
  • Access gates will be open and wifi service available from 8am to 7pm daily, including weekends,
until the service is discontinued.

Remote Learning Update


March 17, 2020

Dear Langford Families,

Although we can never replace the value of traditional instruction, we are committed to supporting our students while they are out of school during the COVID-19 school closure (March 16-31, 2020). Richland Two’s elementary students will engage in remote learning by completing a work packet specific to their grade level. The work packet contains assignments correlated with the South Carolina College and Career-Ready Standards.

There are three options for you to obtain your child’s work packet:

Option 1: Click your child’s grade level below. Download and print the pages of the packet. Please be advised that you don’t have to print the whole packet at once. You can print pages as you need them each day. Please e-mail your child’s homeroom teacher to let him/her know that you have printed/plan to print the packet.
Option 2: Pick up a hard copy of the packet from the school.You may pick up your child’s packet Wednesday, March 18 and Thursday, March 19 according to the schedule below.
Wednesday, March 18 11:00-3:00 pm
Thursday, March 19 9:00-2:00 pm
Option 3: Request that a hard copy of the packet be delivered. On Thursday, we will deploy school buses to run bus routes and bring hard copy packets to bus stops. You may visit a bus stop to pick up a packet for your child. The schedule for bus delivery will be available by Wednesday.

If you are choosing Option 2 or Option 3, please click HERE to access the Remote Learning Packet Preference Form, and indicate which option you are choosing for each of your children.

Students will submit the completed assignments to their teachers when school resumes.
