The 2nd Trimester as begun! Each new trimester is a fresh start, a new chapter waiting to be written. Embrace the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve your goals. Students potential is limitless, and each students journey is unique. Stay curious, stay motivated, and most importantly, stay true to yourself. Let's make this trimester a memorable one filled with success and personal growth!

Starting immediately, the process for unlocking tests will be changed to empower our students with more autonomy and responsibility. Students will no longer need to wait for tests to be manually unlocked by teachers or staff. Instead, you can now unlock your tests independently by completing the associated tutorials.

Here’s how it works:

• Each test is paired with a tutorial designed to prepare you adequately for the test.
• Once you have worked through the tutorial, the test will automatically become available for you to attempt.
• This ensures that you are well-prepared and have engaged with the course material thoroughly.

Additionally, if you wish to retake a test, you will need to revisit and complete the tutorial for that specific test.

This is to reinforce learning and ensure a solid understanding of the material before attempting the test again. This also works for final exams. As soon as you have completed all activities in a given course, the final exam should automatically unlock.

We understand that change can be challenging, and we are here to support you. If you encounter any issues or have questions regarding this new process, please do not hesitate to contact your teacher or me directly for assistance. We are ready and willing to guide you through any difficulties you may face.

Our aim with this update is to foster a learning environment that encourages self-guided study and reinforces the importance of thoroughly understanding course materials. We believe this change will enhance your learning experience and better prepare you for each assessment.

Khan Academy offers a valuable resource for students seeking to enhance their learning. It provides a wide range of free, high-quality educational materials covering subjects like mathematics, science, economics, history, and more. The platform is especially beneficial for students who need additional support or wish to advance their knowledge. With personalized learning dashboards, students can practice at their own pace, ensuring they master each concept. Students can access Khan Academy via ClassLink.

We're committed to providing you with the best learning experience possible. Thank you for being a part of the Riverview Virtual Academy community! Until next month, keep learning, exploring, and growing.

Happy Learning!
