From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Oct. 23, 2020

 

Dear Voyager Community,

Welcome back from Fall break!  I hope you all have had a great week and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. It’s hard to believe that next week is the end of October. The high school advisory sessions this week went really well and the staff greatly appreciated all the student engagement.  Middle School report cards are on their way highlighting student achievement for the first quarter. The elementary and middle school have some exciting assemblies planned for Friday, October 30th to connect with our students and have fun together. We hope you will all join in on the assemblies!
