Richmond Virtual Academy: Home of the RVA Owls where online learning is a hoot!
From Your RVA Principal
It’s a great day at RVA!!!
We hope that you had an opportunity to check in with your child's teacher during last Friday's Caregiver Conferences, and that you were able to get information about your child's progress and ways your scholar can finish the year strong. Over the next few weeks, our teachers will be preparing scholars for the Standards of Learning assessments (Grades 3-12) with engaging cumulative review activities in the classroom as well as recommended activities for additional practice at home. Our teachers will also be connecting with you to get key information from you regarding your child's participation in our upcoming assessments. Please reach out to your child's teacher and/or our site testing coordinators, Ms. Tiffany Lindfors (tlindfors@rvaschools.net) and Ms. Melinda Brooks (mbrooks4@rvaschools.net) if you have any questions or concerns about SOL testing or the Parent Refusal process.
This week, we will be transitioning from our current location at John Marshall High School to our new location at Thomas Henderson Middle School (Room 211). For this reason, Office Hours for families will be offered virtually this week in the Family Tree Google Meet link. Please contact our Office Associate, Ms. Marcella Braxton (mbraxton@rvaschools.net) if you need any support. We will resume in person office hours at Henderson Middle when we return from Spring Break:)
That said, yes, Spring Break is NEXT WEEK?? As a reminder, there is no school on Friday, March 29, 2024 and all RPS Schools are closed next week for Spring Break. We wish you a safe and happy Spring Break ahead and we will see you on April 8th!!
