“The Best in the U.S.A”

We had close to 400 participants in our virtual in our Lyceum zoom sessions both Thursday and Friday morning! Although this is not 100% attendance, getting almost 400 staff and students to attend a virtual Lyceum on a Snow Day demonstrates their commitment to our school’s mission!

Line 9 from our School’s Creed is the Focus for February: We are committed to our community.

We are a community at Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy. We are only successful if we develop these young men into leaders that graduate and go into the world and make a positive impact on the world.

I am not certain how where we will be next week, but I am certain that our students will not be missing out on the engaging lessons that their teachers have created for them. As a reminder, the teachers are in the zoom sessions with their students for the entire class period. The students are able to interact with their teachers by asking or typing their questions. The teachers create lessons with activities that are designed for the students to interact with the teachers and their peers.

Any parents who feel that their son is at home struggling academically or struggling with attendance should call 972-749-2100 to change their learning preference to in person learning. We are still keeping the students in PODs with one of their teachers. The students are not changing classrooms.

Parent conferences are next Tuesday 2/23/2021. We will send out a link to register for the virtual sessions. I encourage all parents to contact any teacher whenever you have any questions. If the teacher is not able to address your concern, feel free to contact me at any time.

Thank you all for the support that you all provide to your sons and our staff!

Let’s make it another great week at BOMLA!
