Hello All!
Welcome to Voyager
For all of the new families who were picked in our lottery today, we want to welcome you. For students who will be new to Voyager in grades K-3, we will have a tour for you on Wednesday, March 11, at 8:30. Please park in the high school parking lot and walk over to the elementary school. All of the elementary slots are used by our faculty and staff. Please don’t park in a numbered space. Again, congratulations and welcome to Voyager! We look forward to meeting you and serving your child.
Information for Next Year’s Incoming Kindergarten Students:
Next year’s kindergarten students will have the chance to experience and prepare for school with Voyager’s kindergarten teachers by attending the Kindergarten Prep Camp. Campers will have a chance to boost basic academic skills while bonding with other incoming kindergarteners and meeting some of the teachers. This is a great camp for new Vikings who might be feeling a little nervous about their upcoming school adventure, or those who just can’t for the official first day! Listed below are the dates and sessions:
Session I: June 15-19; Session II: June 22-26
Times: Half Day: 9:00 am-12:00 pm ($180/week)
Full Day: 9:00 am-4:00 pm ($300/week)
For more information or to reserve your spot contact Mrs. Scarantino: ascarantino@voyageracademy.net. Stay tuned for more detailed registration information coming soon.
Science Fun Night, March 31, from 5-7:00:
A famous and well known quote by Benjamin Franklin captures the essence of Voyager’s Family Science Night: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” It is a night for students and their families to make memories that last a lifetime by engaging in hands-on science activities with family, friends, science professionals, professors, students, and teachers.
As you explore the first-floor hallway of Voyager Academy Elementary School you will be able perform a number of make-and-take stations with Voyager teachers and to view presentations and demonstrations by a number of professionals in our science community including but not limited to our very own Science Olympiad students . Please SAVE THE DATE and join us for Voyager’s 6th Annual Family Science Night on Tuesday, March 31from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at Voyager Academy Elementary School, First Floor.
