Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff of Barack Obama Elementary,
As we enter this last grading period of the 2020-2021 school year, I want to thank the students, parents, and teachers for all of the hard work they have put in to making this a great school year. I know that it has not always been easy, but I am so very proud of each and every one of you. Although we have all put forth our best effort, there is still a great deal of work to be done before we reach the end of the school year. It is imperative that students are present and have logged in on time each and every school day.
Thank you for your continued support in making sure that all of our Obama Stars are working to their full potential. On behalf of myself, and the staff of Barack Obama Elementary, thank you for all of your hard work.
Mrs. Jennifer K. Moore, Principal
