From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Dec. 11, 2020

 

Dear Voyager Community,

Thank you to all the families and staff that joined the school level Town Hall meetings to discuss our Hybrid Reopening Plans. We appreciated hearing all of your questions and support as we continue to navigate the journey ahead this year.  We all understand there is apprehension, but we believe Voyager is prepared to take the next step to move forward safely with the hybrid model on January 19, 2021. There will be an asynchronous learning day and a teacher workday on January 15, 2021 to allow additional time for teachers to fully set up their classrooms. Please know that we will continuously monitor all the data and metrics and assess whether we need to pivot to another plan.  Given the uncertainty this year it is important that all families are prepared and remain flexible should we need to pivot to another phase in order to ensure a safe learning environment for all. Presentations from the Town Halls are linked below the newsletter for families that were not able to attend. Scheduling questions should be directed to the building principals.

Important High School Athletic Updates

 

Attention students and families interested in participating in Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Cross Country, and Swimming/Diving.  With the return of participation anticipated for these three sports coming up in January, myself and our coaching staff would like to have virtual interest meetings to relay all necessary information to those interested.  As we all know this year will certainly look different from years past so it is important that we are all on the same page.  Please also make sure to have correctly filled out all paperwork on our FormRELeaf website here prior to tryouts/participation:
