From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Aug. 21, 2020

 

Dear Voyager Community,

 

What an incredible school opening! The first two weeks have flown by so quickly. Together, your children and our team of highly qualified educators have made the kickoff to the 2020 – 2021 school year simply amazing. Teachers have started to build bonds within their learning community through many fun team building and morning meeting activities.  It has been a joy to join in and observe their online learning sessions and see how quickly they have made connections with their students and started to facilitate deep learning in their remote classrooms.  Another highlight for me personally this week was leading a 1st grade morning meeting and sharing a little about me and my family and reading to the class. We recognize and empathize with the challenges remote learning has placed on many families as we all navigate and balance work and family. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.

VAES Families,

 

Welcome:  Welcome to a whole new world of learning!  We have begun this year in an amazing way.  Our teachers are excited and ready to teach and our students are eager and willing to learn.  Thank you to every family who has worked so diligently to ensure every student has academic, social, and emotional success.  I have been able to meet many of the students via their morning Zoom meeting and hope to meet every student within the next two weeks.  Voyager Academy is an amazing place of learning and I appreciate the students displaying our core values of Confidence, Empathy, Integrity, Reflection, and Curiosity.

Hello Middle School Families,

Wow, what a different learning environment we are in!  It reminds me of the Disney song “A Whole New World!”  Even with all the differences and Remote Learning, our teachers continue to plan lessons that create an environment in which our students want to learn and participate.  I’ve popped into several classes and I see excited and engaged students.  Even though it is virtual, it’s great to see their smiling faces. We will continue to focus on academics, along with the social and emotional components.  We want to include our core values throughout our day: Confidence, Empathy, Integrity, Reflection, and Curiosity.  These values along with the academics will help develop well-rounded students.
