Keep Up the Good Work!

Congratulations on making it through the first marking period of the 2018-2019 school year. I am proud of the hard work that the students, faculty and staff have been putting forth to make this the best school year ever. I would like to congratulate both the students and their families for their commitment to making sure students attend school every single day. There has been a decrease in absenteeism for the first nine weeks, and I would like to see this trend continue as the second marking period begins. Please be advised that if a student misses 18 days, they can be a candidate for grade level retention.

Additionally, as the holiday season quickly approaches, I would like to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Thanksgiving and very Happy Holiday season to all students, parents, and staff. Thank you to everyone for making Barack Obama Elementary the best school in Richmond!

Mrs. Jennifer K. Moore, Principal
