Hi Middle School Families,
Wow, it is such a busy time of year! It’s also going to get even busier.
Our 4th and 5th grade teachers will receive training in Building Zones
of Regulation. The elementary school is already using and it has
helped with behavior management. Our 4th and 5th grade teachers
will have Training and I think it will strengthen our already solid
Behavior Management expectations.
EOG testing for the middle school begins the week of May 15. On May
16 we will administer ELA EOGs. On May 17 we will administer Math
EOGs and on May 18 our 5th and 8th graders will have the science
Benchmark. We need all students to bring their device on May 16, 17
And 18. If there are lots of games on their device they need to delete
some so they will be able to log in to the EOG. We learned during
Check Ins that students could not use the Test App, it was because
there was no space for the Test App. Students may go home after EOG
Testing is completed each day. We feel certain we will all be completed
by 1:00. If you come to pick up your child at 1:00, we will load students
just like a regular carline.
We had a great turnout for our Spring Fling on April 29. It’s was lots of
fun for all of us. A huge Thank You to Mrs. Barr and Mrs. Lalor.
On Wednesday, April 26, several of our rising 8th graders were inducted
Into the National Junior Honor Society. Students needed to have a 95 or
above for their grades. In order to be part of the induction, the students
could not have a discipline referral. I look forward to the projects the
students decide upon. Our current National Junior Honor Society group
has been awesome as they supported a Food Drive, Collected Toys,
provided breakfast for the teachers, put up
Voyager is in the process of selecting Voyager’s Teacher of the Year and
Voyager’s Outstanding Young Educator. I’m sure the decision will
be a challenge.
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!
We will cheer on the High School Seniors this coming week as they
will parade through the middle school in their cap and gown and the
music will be playing. The middle school Student Council will select 2
students who have completed a form regarding their college and these
2 students will receive a $500 Scholarship.

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.
