Voyager Principal’s Update 9/6/26

 

A Note from Ms. Naramore
Ms. Naramore

Happy Sunday, Voyager families! I hope you enjoy the extra-long weekend. Please know our mentors were working hard to prepare for Student Circles, which officially begin on September 14th.

It was also wonderful to celebrate our very first Students of the Month for Curiosity this past week! Congratulations to our August honorees, and thank you to the caregivers who came out to campus to celebrate with us — moments like that mean so much to our scholars.

As you review this week’s updates, please make sure to review the Campus Announcements below, as it includes important information about our lockdown drill this week.

As always, thank you for staying engaged and connected. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Voyager community!

As part of our ongoing safety practices, Voyager will participate in a network-wide lockdown drill this week. We know these drills can bring up a variety of emotions for our students and staff, and we want to make sure everyone feels supported. Students have been notified in advance, but please check in with your child to help prepare them.

If your student struggles with these drills and you believe they need extra support, please email me at cnaramore@valorcollegiate.org so I can work with my team to provide additional support if needed.

🤖 Invitation to Register: AI + Human Connection Event at Valor

What will it mean to be human in a world shaped by AI?

Join us for a one-of-a-kind immersive experience designed to help students, families, and Valor staff explore that question together. Through live actors and interactive scenarios, you’ll step into possible futures and experience firsthand both the incredible possibilities and the real risks of a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

This special event, created in partnership with the Rithm Project, is coming to Valor for the first time ever at a school. You’ll leave with new questions, new perspectives, and an opportunity to think together about how we can use AI without losing what matters most: our humanity and our connections to one another.

We invite you to join us in experiencing the future and helping shape what comes next for our Valor community.

There are several opportunities to participate in this special event over the course of three days (Oct 7–9, 2026). Please register using this form by selecting the time you’d like to attend. Spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We highly encourage students and caregivers to register and attend the event together. We will email confirmation of registration and attendance to participants in mid-September.
