Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff of Barack Obama Elementary,
As we complete this historically unprecedented virtual school year, we want to take this time to say thank you, to all of you, for your tireless efforts this year. Because of you, Barack Obama Elementary School has had a successful school year.
Even virtually, we were able to grow as professionals, as students, and together we were able to grow as a family. It has been a memorable year, and at times, has been downright difficult. But, working together, we have been able to show each other the support needed to make it through each day. When things seemed impossible, you made it happen! We worked together to make this virtual year unforgettable.
Through the year, we shared so many wonderful times and we still will share a few more! Here are just a few things we want you to remember from this year:
- Our Morning Circle/Meetings
- Hallofest Day (wearing your costume)
- Our Angel Tree Activity
- Black History Program
- Drive-by Easter Egg Hunt
- Virtual Game Night
- Kindergarten Celebration
- Awards Day
- 5th Grade Moving-On
With the end of the 2020-2021 virtual school year, we want to wish you a wonderful and safe summer. We CANNOT WAIT to see you back in person in September!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jennifer K. Moore, Principal
Ms. Jacqueline Drye, Assistant Principal

RPS Direct Update - July 21, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, Tonight's updates: Mask Guidance – Despite today's announcement from the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Education allowing for more leniency with mask-wearing in middle and high schools, at RPS, we will be maintaining our 100% mask-wearing policy for all students, staff, and visitors. We feel this is the safest course of action, particularly with the surging delta variant.
