Since we returned for the new semester, we have only had 7 days of school over the last two weeks. This will be another very busy week. We have Parent Conferences this week. If you would like to speak with any of your son’s teachers, please contact them to set up a time for them to meet you. They are available to meet before school, after school, or during their planning periods. Please contact them by phone or email to set up a time to meet virtually, in person, or over the phone. Please let me know if you have any problems contacting the teachers to schedule a time to meet. This Wednesday is Parent Shadow Day. You are welcome to come by and enjoy lunch with your son. You are also welcome to attend his 2nd period class.
We will also have a Fam Jam community event at Young Women’s Steam Academy in Balch Springs. The flier is below. I hope to see you all there.
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.
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.
We want all our Brothers to return to BOMLA next year, but if you decide to move your son to one of the other great schools in Dallas ISD, you can request the required documents by using the link on this document. Again, we want all the Brothers to return, but we want you and your son to want to be at BOMLA
Please continue to share the stories of your BOMLA experience with your friends and families. They can apply online at Choose Dallas ISD.

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!
