Registered for AP Calculus AB


Students registered to take AP Calculus AB in the Fall:

Around mid-July, you will be receiving a summer packet for AP Calculus AB via email. Although this is not a required assignment, it is recommended that you complete the packet prior to the first day of class in order to position yourself for success in the course. You will be given an opportunity to ask questions about the content of this packet on the first day of class. Since many of the pre-requisite topics will not be reviewed in this course, it is your responsibility to know and understand most of the material presented in the packet. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email Mrs. Fowler at: sfowler@richland2.org

If you know that you are (or will be) enrolled in the course and you have not received the summer packet by mid-July, send Mrs. Fowler an email to make her aware that you need a packet.

All Students - Important Information

The last day of school is June 1, 2017.  During this last week, most students are taking exams and preparing for the end of school.  As we wrap up this school year, here are some things that must happen in order for us to maintain an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.

Students who are on campus MUST be in their scheduled class, this includes Seniors.  There is not an exception to this requirement.

Students who are on campus MUST wear their ID, even if you are only coming on campus to pay fees, turn in textbooks, etc. This is a safety issue.  We must be able to identify all students on campus by their school issued ID.

Students who are on campus MUST be in dress code. Pajamas, non-dress code length shorts/skirts, exposed undergarments, exposed midriffs, etc. are not acceptable on campus.


Please remember that all school rules remain if effect through the last day of school.

Vinita Wins First Place in National History Day Competition


Congratulations to Miss Vinita Cheepurupalli for winning first place on her individual website entitled Margaret Sanger, Woman Rebel: Crusading Against the Censorship of Birth Control at this year's National History Day Competition in South Carolina. 

Each fall, over half a million students nationwide begin the year-long National History Day program, competing in a series of history contests in their local schools, regions and affiliates. The top students in each category are selected for participation in the national contest.  Participating students choose their own topics of study and research from original sources based on the theme: Taking a Stand in History. National History Day students research historic documents and artifacts, conduct oral histories, search the Internet for information on their topics and travel to historic sites. They present their work in a variety of ways, by creating exhibits, documentaries, performances, websites or historical research paper.

This is the second year that Vinita won first place at both the state and regional NHD competition and the honor of representing the state of South Carolina at the NHD nationals. The national annual Kenneth E. Behring National History Day contest will be held at the University of Maryland from June 11-15.

Chromebooks Summer Take Home Program

Attention Spring Valley Parents & Guardians,


Spring Valley High School students will participate in a summer take home program for Chromebooks this year. This means that non-graduating students will be keeping their school-issued Chromebooks over the summer.
Here is some basic information about our summer take-home program:
  • Graduating Seniors are not eligible to participate in the summer take-home program.
  • Underclassmen student devices will be evaluated before the end of the school year.  
  • If the computer needs any major repairs these repairs will need to be completed before May 12th so the Chromebook is ready to take home at the end of the school year.  
  • The optional Chromebook Protection Premium Plan covers one incident of accidental damage from Aug 20, 2016, to August 21, 2017.
  • A second or subsequent accidental damage, incident, loss, or theft is not covered by the premium and the student will be responsible for the full cost of repair or replacement.
  • If the premium was not paid this school year students can still take home Chromebooks with the understanding that they are responsible for any damage.
  • If you do not wish for your child to participate in the summer take home program, you will need to contact Andrea Clutts in writing through email at: aclutts@richland2.org. Please include your child’s full name in the email.
Thank you!
