Athletics Returning to VIMSIA and the Territory

Our new Athletic Director, Mr. Wyatt Franz, attended the first STT/STJ IAA (Interscholastic Athletic Association) meeting for 22-23 on Wednesday. The IAA is back in full swing to coordinate Elementary through Varsity interschool sports and Mr. Franz is excited to get our athletes back on the field (court, track, water, trails…). He would like to share with you some of his philosophies on our VOLTS Athletics as we enter into what we hope to be a great return to competitive sports after out Covid shutdowns.

How does the Volts Athletics Program support students? 

After school sports and activities are one of the many ways to access a well-rounded education. We advocate for a high percentage of student participation and it is our goal to achieve this.

We will have an inclusive participation policy that allows for as many students to participate in our programs no matter their overall ability to play.

We support both teachers and students to ensure that students put academics first while also maintaining a strong commitment to their team.

There is an open-door communication policy with regard to students' needs.

We advocate for a growth mindset and allow both students and our athletics program the opportunity to become better than ever as we emerge from a tumultuous past few years.

We listen and we are open to the ideas of the students and the greater community. 

How to schedule a meeting: 

I have an open-door policy with students during school hours if I am not teaching a class (schedule is posted).

An appointment can also be scheduled via email - wfranz@vimsia.org.

I am also available before school starts between 7:30-8:00 am and after school T-F from 3:15-4:00 pm.
