Voyager Program

owl picWelcome Parents & Students!

Thank you for visiting Lynbrook's Voyager Information Page. On this page will be important information about the program philosophy, its identification process and its instructional goals.

 

Program Description

Lynbrook’s Voyager Program is designed to identify and meet the instructional needs of qualifying students in grade 5. This program is part of the district’s continuum of services available to students who need services and activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to more fully develop their academic capabilities. These students will participate in activities to foster collaboration, communication and analysis, and research and presentation skills through project-based activities.

 

Location

A centralized instructional space at West End will be designated for the Voyager Program. Students from Marion Street and Waverly Park will be picked up from their home schools on their scheduled days and transported to West End to attend the program. School buses will transport the students back to their home schools for dismissal.

 

Identification & Testing Protocol

The Voyager Program uses the  CogAT as an intial screening tool to determine participation. Any parent of a current fourth grade student may request their child participate in the screening process during the spring of 2024.  Please submit all such letters to Neil MacDermott (111 Atlantic Avenue, Lynbrook, NY 11563) by Friday, May 10th.
