Dear Voyager Community,

It’s been another incredible week at Voyager with our students, staff, and parents learning and growing together.  We are so thankful for our school counseling team that has planned our student and parent enrichment programs to support our school community.  Last evening, Voyager parent and IT expert, Shelly Epps, shared an informative and insightful presentation on Internet Safety.  Thank you, Shelly for sharing your expertise with our community.  The Internet Safety Presentation slides from the presentation are linked if you were not able to attend the zoom session.

mClass:  Teachers in grades K-3 will begin conducting the mClass reading assessment with each individual student during the week of Sept. 21.  The teachers will schedule a set time to meet with each student to conduct this assessment.  This data will help us determine what reading skills our students have mastered and what reading skills we need to provide more assistance.  All mClass assessments will be completed by October 9.

Hello Middle School Parents, 

It’s been another great week at Voyager Middle School. On Tuesday, we had a Virtual Assembly that was lots of fun.  It was great to see so many smiling faces.  I think the highlight for most of the students was following Mrs. Liller’s  and Mr. Blackston’s lead   in the Casper cha cha slide.  Have your students shared the Casper cha cha slide with you?
