Why is Annual Registration important? The schools need to verify that your information has not changed and is accurate for the upcoming school year. Annual Registration is where you complete all parent/guardian forms such as transportation, medical, and Responsible Use Policy (RUPs), that allow your student to access district networks and computers. How do I complete Annual Registration? If you need help resetting or creating a Parent Portal account, please contact the school student data coordinator. What should I do if I no longer live in Richland Two or if I have moved within the district and need to provide updated proof of residence? If you have moved, please contact your current school registrar. Moving within district boundaries will require you to provide (2) proofs of residence: A copy of the most recent mortgage statement or the full lease and 1 utility bill.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Your cooperation in meeting these requirements is greatly appreciated.

Biological Reasons for Dysregulation
Behavior is never random. It's communication. We need to pause to figure out what is driving the behavior to help us figure out how to best respond. Usually, there is some type of need at the wheel. Sometimes the need is for connection but very often, the need is the child's body talking before the brain has capacity to cope. When a child is tired, hungry, overwhelmed, unwell, overstimulated, under-stimulated, uncomfortable, or out of their routine, their nervous system will work overtime. This is why behavior support should always start with the basics: Sleep, Food, Sensory load, Health, & Predictability. Biology comes first so remember to check the basics first when a behavior pops up. When we meet the need underneath the behavior, the behavior doesn't have to shout so loudly.
