Afternoon Pick-up Alert
Please be aware that students are not to be dropped off, nor picked up at any of the properties across Ben Franklin Blvd. This is private property, not a public road, and we have received complaints from those businesses. Also, please be aware that carline wait-time has decreased significantly since the beginning of the year.
Please help Voyager Academy to be good neighbors.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Seniors: Be Considered For Early Admission With “National College Match”
The National College Match gives seniors the opportunity to be considered for early admission and a full four-year scholarship.
QuestBridge programs are for high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds. Most of the students who are selected as Finalists come from households earning less than $65,000 per year for a household of four with minimal assets (assets include savings, investments, and homes, properties, or businesses owned). However, there are no absolute cut-offs.
The deadline for seniors to apply is Tuesday, September 30. Please check out https://www.questbridge.org/ for more information.
Interested/Eligible students are encouraged to reach out to Jill O'Kane, VAHS School Counselor for assistance (jokane@voyageracademy.net).
