Keep Up the Good Work!
As we enter the last grading period of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the faculty, students, and parents for all of the hard work that they have been putting forth. Students are really making strides, and I see wonderful lessons every day as I walk through the building.
Also, SOL testing for third, fourth, and fifth graders will be beginning very soon at the end of May. Students will be reviewing for these tests every day, so it is very important that students try their best to attend school every day. Attendance is so important for a successful education, and we strive to have 100% attendance every single day. Each month we will be having attendance rewards for those students who come to school every day.
Thank you again for the effort you put in every day here at Barack Obama Elementary School. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jennifer K. Moore, Principal
