From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Nov. 13, 2020

 

Dear Voyager Community,

Thank you to all students, parents, and staff that completed our Hybrid Return to Learning Survey.  Your input will continue to guide our decision making process as we plan for the future. Results of this survey will be shared with the Reopening Task Force next week as we continue to plan for our return in a hybrid educational model. The Voyager team has been preparing for the return of our students to campus and our hybrid education model.  Students have been grouped into three cohorts, Cohort A attending in-person on Mondays and Tuesdays and remote Wednesday through Friday; Cohort B attending in-person on Thursday and Friday and remote Monday through Wednesday, and Cohort C students will be remote full time.  Town Hall meetings are also scheduled in early December for parents to learn more about our Hybrid Reopening Plans.

Voyager Academy Middle School News, Nov. 13, 2020

Hello Middle School Parents, 

I hope everyone is safe and sound after the rains we received Thursday. I also hope that your families across our state are safe. The roads were certainly covered with water when traveling home from school. As you travel this weekend be mindful of the remaining water as well as the many potholes and other road problems.
