Hi Middle School Families,
I hope all of you enjoyed Spring Break and had the opportunity to
have fun with your children. It didn’t take long to get back in the flow of
teaching and learning! Students came back ready to learn.
We welcome Altrenna Patterson to Voyager Middle School. We are so
fortunate to have her at the middle school as she is our Tech Person
from now until the end of this school year. By the way, she is awesome!
Teachers had the opportunity to have a workday prior to the students
returning. We had meetings with parents, and CPI training for certain
Staff. Since our return we had some students bowling, a Field Trip on
the large field as Camp Flintlock shared lots of information with our
fifth graders. We also had several parents join us and share their
career with students. Students who are part of Matilda The Musical
have spent many hours practicing. Matilda is Friday, April 21, Saturday
April 22, Sunday April 23, and Monday, April 24. Hope to see you there!
Mrs. Locke’s class has learned how to have a successful debate. The
students spent much time researching their topic in order to debate their
Topic and win the debate. They all did a great job! We also had parents
talk with our 7th graders sharing their career choice.
Shark Tank is coming! Our students are in the process of creating their
scripts. I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing from several of the
students as they are putting the finishing touches on their presentation.
I need some help from some of you regarding computers. We
really need our 6th, 7th and 8th graders to bring their computers
and especially during our EOG testing. If they have a problem with
their computer we can usually take care of the problem and it is
usually too many games on the computer.
Student Recognition for March - Great job by our students!

PARKING SPACES
Please do not park in one of the numbered parking spaces. All of the spaces that are numbered are for the staff. The spaces at the MS are in front of the MS, in front of the soccer field, in front of the Hock House and around the edge of the pond. The space may be empty when you arrive but remember the spaces are for the staff even if they have not arrived before you have arrived. Thanks so much for not parking in the numbered spaces. !
Attendance Info
Help, the attendance committee will meet on Tuesday and we will be contacting some of you regarding students not being in school and/or getting to school late. When your child is sick, please email us so we will know why your student is absent or send a doctor’s note. Several of you received an email or a call regarding your child’s lateness and/or absences. We recognize that many of our students have been sick and we understand why they are not at school. It is helpful if you send a note regarding attendance or send a doctor’s note if possible. If we do not hear from you we usually mark it unexcused.
Student Support Services Newsletter: If you haven’t already, please check out our first edition of “Connections” (link below) - your new, quarterly Student Support Services Newsletter!

Your feedback is important to us!

If your payment is not made your spot will be forfeited and will be given to the next student. Please go to our website to see a full description of each enrichment.
The Titan Family Portal and LINQ Online Ordering system work together like a checking/ debit card account. All student lunch accounts must be preloaded with funds for ordering. Parents then order lunches for students based on the funds availability in their Titan account. Families who have a negative balance on the account will no longer be permitted to order lunch online. Please be sure to send your student(s) to school with lunch if no meal was ordered. If your student's lunch account currently has a negative balance, we please ask that you pay this balance as soon as possible by either form of payment:
Online at https://family.titank12.com There is a $2.80 flat fee charged by the bank per deposit online. (Example: $100 deposit + $2.80 fee = $102.80)
A check/ money order made payable to Voyager Academy. Please include your child's name and id# on the memo line. You can also use this pre-printed form.
