“The Best in the U.S.A”
As I watch the news reports of school openings around the country, I am sure that I am not alone when I wonder what it will look like when Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy opens its doors. The school district is still carefully reviewing survey results from parents and staff as well as data collected by local, state and federal health officials. Although I do not know exactly what the school’s re-opening will look like, I am certain that whatever decision that is made by our leadership team will be the decision that puts the safety of the students and staff first.
Many re-opening scenarios were presented during the last two weeks of virtual trainings. The goal of the discussions was to create plans that limited the number of people to potential exposure of the virus. In some of the scenarios, the students remained in one classroom throughout the school day. In other scenarios, the teachers did not change classrooms. The school day will be significantly different from how it ran before we left for Spring Break in March 2020.
High Schools in Dallas ISD were given the option to do a “Hybrid” in-person re-entry plan. In this plan, the High School students would go to the campus in-person for two - three days per week and learn remotely for the other two - three days each week. Even though this would reduce the number of students in the building, our leadership team at Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy has chosen to not implement this “Hybrid” model. We do not want our parents to have to choose between not being able to go to work or leaving their students unsupervised at home.
We have scheduled two parent meetings for August 25th. The first meetings are scheduled for 2pm and 5pm. The zoom invites will be sent to parents via email.
If you choose in-person learning for your son, the complete uniform will be required. Please contact our uniform provider AlReady Gear to set up an appointment. I have included their contact information below.
