Online Registration is Open for 2017-2018 School Year!
Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year Spartanburg District Two will be using an online registration/data validation system called 2Easy Registration powered by InfoSnap.
This allows the district to verify all student demographic, emergency, and medical information for your child prior to the start of the new school year. This system will allow you to electronically sign the annual permission forms for school district policies, and replaces all hard copy student registration and permission forms that your child brings home on the first day of school.
In order to register online you will need a snap code. Hopefully, by now you have already received that information.
Follow this link to the district's webpage to get started:

Standardized Testing Tips - Choose to do well!
Parents: Over the course of the next 6 weeks, our 3rd and 4th graders will be taking our state's standardized assessments. We ask that you consider these four steps to help encourage your child to do their very best...and SOAR:
1. Explain that the tests will show how much she has learned. Encourage her to try her best, but don't put so much emphasis on the tests that she feels stressed.
2. Practice the test format. For example, your child might have to read a paragraph and answer questions. Your child has practiced using the online test and will participate in field testing, which will be helpful with the format.
3. Limit activities the night before tests. You may want to avoid having guests for dinner, or let her skip her brother's ball game if it means being out late. Be sure your child gets to bed on time and sets an alarm for the next morning so that she is on time and present for the start of the tests.
4. On test day, give her a good breakfast. Try to include both protein and carbohydrates.
