From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Aug. 28, 2020


Dear Voyager Community,


It’s been another wonderful week of learning, playing, and growing together for our students and school-wide K-12 community.  The leadership team and staff greatly appreciate all the positive support and feedback we have received from our students and families as we navigate the new educational landscape together. We are now three weeks into the remote learning environment and have been assessing our plans for moving forward as promised during our town hall meetings earlier this summer.  Please be assured that our greatest desire is to re-open our campus and have our entire school community return to our normal learning environment. We all miss seeing the children in our classrooms and the joy they bring to each of us. We understand the challenges and stresses that this health pandemic and uncertainty has caused for many of our families. While we pivot during these times of uncertainty, we remain steadfast as we continue to focus and prioritize the health and safety of your children, our staff, and our greater Voyager community while we continue to provide an excellent education for all remotely.

Hello Middle School Families,

Wow, I cannot believe we have completed 3 weeks of remote learning!  This has been challenging for all of us and I must say all of you are handling it quite well.  The leadership team wants to hear from all of you regarding screen time and remote learning.  You will receive a survey with a small number of questions regarding screen time, scheduling and time in class.  PLEASE make sure you complete the survey and please answer all the questions.  Again, there are only a few questions.
