“The Best in the U.S.A”

We are heading into our final week before Thanksgiving Break. To stay safe, we must continue to follow all safety guidelines. The most important guideline is to stay home if you are experiencing any COVID - 19 related symptoms. You must also stay home if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID - 19.

We are recruiting our next round of impactful leaders. We also want to communicate to our current students that we want them to continue making an impact as students at The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy. If there is anything that we can do differently or if there is something that we can start doing that we are not doing, please let me know! I have attached our most recent recruitment video. We also want testimonials from parents and students talking about their positive experiences at The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy. Please email your videos or post them to one of our Social Media Platforms listed below in “Ways we Communicate.”

I would also like to remind everyone that we are no longer using the hybrid model for 9th - 12th grade. All 6th - 12th grade students are expected to attend all of their classes Monday - Friday. All 6th - 12th grade students are expected to log in to all of the zoom sessions on Wednesdays. Wednesdays are days when the students can complete any missed assignments or receive help from their teachers on previous assignments.

You will be receiving a call or an email from Ms. Martinez if you have not completed your 2020-2021 enrollment. Please contact the school at 972 749 2100 if you have any questions.

I am adding a link to the district calendar so that you can see all upcoming holidays and testing dates. https://www.dallasisd.org/calendars

I am looking forward to another great week of learning! I speak with many parents and students daily to assist with anything that I can help with. As I have said before, don’t hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions!

Sincerely,

Rashad Jackson
