Dear VAMS Families,
Wow, what a cold and rainy ending to a wonderful week! Students have been busy working on projects, going on field trips, and completing NC Check-Ins, our new assessments. The feedback from the students regarding NC Check Ins - “not as long”, “print is larger”, “not as many passages”, and “the math was easier than the reading”. We should receive our reports next week or early the following week. Individual reports will be sent home and teachers will use their data to create MTSS groups.
Congrats Mr. Price
We are excited that Mr. Price is Voyager Academy’s Teacher of the Year. Mr. Price had a couple of assignments – he had to compile a portfolio and interview with a team from DPI (Department of Public Instruction). We were thrilled to learn that Mr. Price has moved to the next level in the competition. Go, Mr. Price, Go!!!!!!!
