From The Voyager Academy PTSO
Happy New Year! We are getting ready for our first VAHS hospitality luncheon for 2026. Thank you to all who donated food and time for our breakfast in December. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all staff members!
We will be doing a potato bar on January 12. We will provide the potatoes but we need help with toppings and sides.
Here is the SignUp Genius link:

New Drivers Ed Information
The next online class sessions for Driver's Ed will be held on the following dates and times.
The evening class will have capacity for 2 classes.
Students must be present for all class sessions (no exceptions) because NC State Law requires 30 hours of face-to-face instruction to receive credit for the course in addition to 6 hours of behind the wheel instruction to receive the certificate.
$45 fee is due at registration. You must pay to complete registration with a debit or credit card.
DRIVERS ED: Non-DPS Student Registration & Class Information
To enroll in the Drivers Education class, a student will need to have a personal gmail email account (not a school account). If the student does not already have one, it is very advantageous to set this up a personal gmail account prior to registration.
More information can be found at: https://www.dpsnc.net/o/dps/page/non-dps-student-registration

Seniors: Here Are Your FAFSA Instructions
College bound seniors and parents/guardians should fill out the FAFSA to access federal student aid like grants, work-study, and loans, as well as state and school-based aid and private scholarships. Completing the form is free and can help pay for college. The Professional Access and Equity (PAE) Committee has developed simplified FAFSA instructions. This resource was developed to assist students and parents/guardians with navigating the new FAFSA process more easily.
