“The Best in the U.S.A”
After two weeks of virtual learning we are starting to get pretty good at this! It is not easy, but our “Levels of Leadership” are “Making an Impact!” We have MAP testing this week. For those of you who have chosen to test virtually, you will test during your Reading and Math classes. For the brothers choosing to test on campus at BOMLA, you will test on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday from 9:00 - 11:30. Please read the email sent last week for all the details.
Our 6th and 9th grade brothers will be returning to campus September 28th! This gives us a chance to test our plan with a smaller group of brothers. I have attached a link to a PPT that explains the arrival and dismissal procedures. If you did not complete the return to school survey, please contact the school by phone or email to let us know your decision. We started calling parents last week who had not responded.
There are so many things to celebrate and be thankful for! I would like to thank the teachers and all of the staff for being so flexible and going far beyond the minimum requirements of their jobs. I would also like to thank the parents and other family members for going far beyond their normal roles and responsibilities. Parents have added technology troubleshooters and Teacher’s assistants to the many roles that they already perform. We could not do it without you!
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
