Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
I hope you are all staying warm as we reflect Dr. King's Impact on Social Justice and Civil Rights on our society and the world. There have been so many positive advances made for social justice since the 1960's, but if we want to continue advancing civil rights, we have to continue to stay informed, and stay involved in the local, state, and national politics of our country.
Parent Conference Week is next week. All Dallas ISD schools are now offering Parent Conferences over the entire week. Please contact your son's teacher to schedule a time to discuss your son's progress. Conferences can be held over he phone, in person, or virtually. All teachers should reply with 48 hours. Please let me know if you need any support contacting your son's teachers.
Mr. Moore, our 7th grade MAth teacher, has chosen to take on a new role as an assistant principal in another district. We have secured a long term substitute while we find the best candidate for the open Math position. We wish Mr. Moore the best.
If you were not able to make it to one of the Parent Shadow days last semester, here is a link to the Parent Shadow Days for this semester. I hope to see you! all! If you are interested in being involved in another way, please contact me or contact Mr. Tello.

This year's theme is "What is your Impact?"
These are the instructions to see the status of your son's bus.
Here are the bus routes for BOMLA.
Please register for Parent Portal. You can access your son's schedule, grades and attendance.
We will use our "Men of Purpose" book as a guide for the character development lessons during Lyceum. We will engage the Brothers with the following discussion questions to help them identify their purpose over the next few weeks.
1. How do you want people to remember you?
2. What would someone say about your life right now?
3. How have you made a difference in the lives of others?
Mondays will be for presentations. Tuesdays will be when we present the discussion and presentation topics for the following week. Wednesdays are when the Brothers get into their mentoring groups to discuss and prepare their presentations for the upcoming Monday. Please ask your son to share their thoughts with you at home.
We are working to make our dismissal even safer. We do not want any Brothers crossing the street to get to their parent's cars. It is difficult to see the cars, and it is difficult for the cars to see the Brothers trying to cross. Please continue to follow the dismissal procedures as we continue to improve the dismissal process.
Thank you for sending your son to school in his full uniform Monday through Thursday. The Brothers can wear their jeans with a House Shirt, BOMLA Spirit Shirt or a College Shirt. If you have questions about the expectations, please contact the school at 972-749-2100.
For safety reasons, please follow the Arrival and Dismissal Procedures. We are now asking the parents to only pick up their sons on the South side of Stag Rd . so their sons will not have to cross the street.
Please bring your son to school every day. When they are not able to attend, please bring the documentation to excuse the absence. Students must attend at least 90% of their classes in order to receive credit for the course.
Thank you for choosing The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy!
Please call or email me if you have any questions!
Thank you!
