School Board meeting canceled and two-hour delay for schools Wednesday

In response to a winter weather advisory that warns of the potential for dangerous travel conditions tonight and in the morning, the regularly scheduled school board meeting for Tuesday, February 24 has been canceled and Richland School District Two will operate on a two-hour delay for students and employees on Wednesday, February 25.

A two-hour delay means middle schools will start at 9:30 a.m., elementary schools will start at 10 a.m. and high schools will start at 10:30 a.m.

District officials will continue to monitor weather conditions with the assistance of Richland County Emergency Preparedness. The district will keep parents, students and staff informed by using the district’s Blackboard Connect system to call with emergency and other messages.

Parents can also get information about school cancellations and delays by checking this website, watching R2TV (the district’s cable access channel on Time Warner) and staying tuned to local media reports for updates.

A Day in the Life of Spring Valley High School's Kloo Hansen on February 25, 2015

Meet Kloo Hansen, a social studies teacher at Spring Valley High School since 2008. Ms. Hansen teaches World Geography, AP Psychology and AP Human Geography. She is an innovative teacher who likes to incorporate new technology and concepts into her classroom. Her style of teaching is ever-evolving, creative and engaging. She likes to present her students real world understandings of the subjects she teaches, bringing in relevant topics and activities for her classes. Students would describe Mrs. Hansen as "energetic," "respectful," and "passionate."

In addition to serving her students with the highest quality education, Ms. Hansen endeavors to support her professional colleagues. She has helped plan, organize, and implement professional learning opportunities for teachers at her school and in the district. Most recently, she has served as the lead teacher for the Blended Learning Project sponsored by the district, and facilitates teachers integrating technology in their classrooms.
