THE AU-IV CLASS GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
The AU-IV class at the high school has been busy making bags for the homeless of Durham, Wake, and Johnston Counties. The students have been working hard to learn about purchasing power by counting money and learning about the importance of buying power. The students then made a list of what to include in our bags to distribute to the homeless which includes; gloves, chapstick, snacks, water, hats, sanitizer, etc. The students packaged the materials and Mr. McGill will distribute throughout the 3 counties. There will be a picture log of the journey so the children can see the positive impact of their hard work.

11th GRADERS RECEIVE FREE ACT EXAM PREP RESOURCES
One of the Voyager Academy School Improvement Plan's goals this year is to increase our ACT scores (the ACT is a state required exam for all 11th graders that factors into the Voyager Academy NC School Report Card).
To help us reach that goal, Voyager Academy is providing all 11th graders access to web-based Tutorials through Apex Learning, to help him/her prepare for the ACT this coming February.
In addition to ACT prep, students may use Tutorials as a resource for homework help, to provide extra practice on topics they may be struggling with, or to accelerate their learning if they are ready for more challenging work.

STUDENTS MUST BRING THEIR DEVICES TO SCHOOL
Voyager Academy requires that every student in grades 7-12 have his or her own laptop for use in school and at home as a part of our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Students use their computers extensively for academic purposes. Most software, resources, and services that students utilize are cloud-based and accessible via a modern web browser. Students use Google’s G Suite for office software (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc), so Microsoft Office is not required. Please make sure your student has his/her laptop and charger with him/her at all times.
