From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Aug. 27, 2021

Dear Voyager Community,

Another incredible week has flown by and there are so many exciting things happening across campus.

This was the first week of our COVID surveillance screening test process and all went smoothly. Thank you to all the families and staff that are participating. Voyager has partnered with the Duke ABC Science Collaborative to assist our school nurse with this process.  To date, we have 144 individuals that are part of the surveillance testing process.  Surveillance testing is being implemented to identify asymptomatic cases of COVID so that we can prevent further spread of the virus.  I encourage all families and staff to complete the consent form and participate in this process to help keep our school community safe and healthy.  The surveillance testing consent form is linked here and can be submitted to our school nurse, Chelsea Skoff.

We have completed three full weeks of learning at Voyager Academy.  The students are adjusting a little more each and every day.  It is very exciting to see how thrilled the students are to learn each day.  I try to remind them their job is to learn and our job is to teach.  We are all doing our job very well.  The following announcements will be helpful to you and your family for the week of August 30-Sept. 3

It has been another great week at the middle school. The students and staff are working hard to understand  the expectations for each team of teachers.  The very best thing you can do for your child this year is to make sure they attend school if at all possible and that they arrive on time and get their work turned in on time. Thanks for all you are doing!

Dear Voyager Community,

It was wonderful to meet so many families at the PTO Welcome Back picnic and at the High School Open House and Middle School Curriculum nights this week.  We appreciate and value the connections we have with our families so that we can all partner together to ensure the success of our students academically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you to all our parent volunteers that support our schools.  Please reach out to your building principal if you are interested in volunteering in the school or to the Operations Manager, Patrice Johnson, if you would like to assist with classroom lunch deliveries or support the before and after care program.

We have completed two full weeks of learning at Voyager Academy.  The students are beginning to settle into a routine and we have already begun to see great friendships developing within their classroom community.  The following updates will be helpful for you and your family for the week of August 23-27, 2021.

Wow, it has been a busy week at the Middle School. This week we had our Fall Pictures taken.  If your child was absent, we will have a Fall Picture Makeup Day.  I will include the make up date in the newsletter as soon as we have the date. Visiting classrooms has been lots of fun as there is so much outstanding teaching taking place and so much learning.  Our students are settling in nicely and understanding the ins and outs of school.

Dear Voyager Community,

What a wonderful and busy week on campus.  The campus is alive with energy, learning, and laughter.  Students and staff are getting to know one another and digging into the plans and educational journey for the year ahead.  Thank you to our parent car line volunteers and staff for assisting with making our carline run smoother each day.  The PTO will be sending out information about joining in on a carpool to help reduce the number of cars on campus. We are all excited for the PTO Welcome Back Picnic tonight at 6 pm and hope to see many of you on campus behind the Middle School.

We have had an amazing week of learning at Voyager Academy Elementary School.  Thank you for your encouragement and support this week.  Thank you for your patience as we are working out the concerns related to starting back to school and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family as we seek to create independent life-long learners.  The very best thing you can do for your child this year is to make sure they attend school if at all possible and that they arrive on time.

Middle School News: August 13, 2021

It has been a great week at the middle school. The students and staff are working hard to get to know each other along with sharing the expectations for each team of teachers.  It appears that our students are settling in nicely and understanding the ins and outs of middle school (4th and 5th grade students are still elementary students in the middle school building.)  Our fourth and fifth graders are also off to a great start!  We certainly appreciate all the supplies you provided along with the support you have provided your children and staff.  Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through back to school kinks!  The very best thing you can do for your child this year is to make sure they attend school if at all possible and that they arrive on time. You are doing a great job with this request!
