The OFFICIAL newsletter of Voyager Academy High School in Durham, NC
Dear Voyager Community,
It was a great week at school as our students continue to shine and work hard. Students are learning important life skills as they demonstrate critical thinking and collaboration while they work on projects and classroom activities. Walking through classrooms our students are engaged in their lessons and focused on their learning goals. It’s hard to believe we are halfway through the first quarter already.
Today is a great day at Voyager Academy. Our students have settled in at school and are beginning to understand it is our job to TEACH and it is their job to LEARN. We are so excited that everyone is trying so hard to do their job well. The following announcements will be helpful for you and your family for the week of Sept. 20-24.
Hi all,
Oh my, it is already September 17th! The beginning of the year has been a little different because many of our students have been thinking they were still at home and feel they do not have to follow school rules and procedures. For example, students do not need to bring their cell phone to school as it is not needed at school. If they absolutely have to bring their phone, the phone needs to be turned off and in their bookbag. I ask that you talk with your child regarding his or her cell phone. I also ask that you not text your child during the school day. We are also finding that some of our students feel they should be able to use their computer in any way they want. Playing games in class, logging onto sites, and chatting via text with friends during class are all unacceptable behavior. The students need to be focused and ready to learn and participate in class each and every day. I ask for your help in reinforcing the appropriate behaviors during the school day. Thank you as we want our students to be ready for the next grade level!!!!!
