Dear Voyager Community,

As 2020 comes to a close it’s a great time to reflect on how we’ve grown and changed since the start of the year. This year I've seen exponential growth in our technology skills, flexibility, and recognition of all that is important in our lives. I wanted to wish all of our Voyager families and staff a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and joy filled new year. May the new year be merry and bright for each of you.  Thank you to all the Voyager families that donated so many gifts for the Durham Rescue Mission and gift cards to support our families in need.  Your generosity is inspiring and will bring joy and hope to many and brighten their lives.  Just look at all the amazing donated gifts!

VAES Family Update

Greetings to all of our Voyager Academy Elementary Families,

As we prepare for the possible Hybrid Reopening Plan for Voyager Academy, I wanted to take some time to review several important pieces of information.

Voyager Academy Middle School News, Dec. 18, 2020

Hello Middle School Parents, 

Wow, I can not believe that we have completed the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year.  Even with all the ups and downs, it has been a terrific semester.  The students have put forth much effort and have been very successful this first semester.  Parents, you have also put forth much effort to ensure your child/ren, our students completed and turned in assignments as well as pushed your children to zoom into their class periods.  Our Voyager Middle School Staff has been fabulous as they have provided quality instruction to each of our students.  Our teachers have created relationships with the students so that the students know their teachers might push them but that their teachers truly care about them.  It has been a different type of semester but we have made it!
