What should you do to get ready for the Learning Assessment?
Remember that after we get back we only have 1.5 weeks till the semester break (term ends on January 10).
1. The Learning Assessment will take place on January 4. You can review for the assessment by using the study guide which is available in gospel library (Use this LINK to open the study guide in gospel library OR on a computer). I've included the written version below.
2. I would also encourage you to review doctrinal mastery using QUIZIZZ. Go tohttps://join.quizizz.com and use any of these gamecodes

Or you can search for “CJH SEM” and take any of the quizzes we have used this year.
3. Please ask your parents to review your attendance at https://myseminary.lds.org. If you have any unexcused absences they need to be excused in order to avoid losing credit. Also, if you have more than 10 excused absences you will need to complete makeup at http://www.seminarymakeup.org (Select Viewmont Seminary) for any days over those 10 absences. Makeup instructions can be found onmyseminary.lds.org or in the LDS Seminary & Inst app.
