Principal's Message

To my Beloved BOES Parents and Families,

Happy New Year! As we begin this new year and second semester together, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of our school and, most importantly, of your children. At Barack Obama Elementary School, our kids always come first. Every decision we make, every lesson we teach, and every goal we set is centered on helping our students grow, learn, and succeed.

We are incredibly proud of our students—the STARS of Barack Obama Elementary School. Each day, they shine through their hard work, curiosity, kindness, and determination. It is truly a joy to watch them learn and grow, and we are committed to providing them with a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

Good attendance plays a vital role in student success. When students are present and on time each day, they are better able to keep up with learning, build strong habits, and feel connected to their school community. We appreciate your partnership in making regular attendance a priority.

We also thank you for supporting our teachers and staff. Your encouragement and cooperation help strengthen the important work they do every day. When families and teachers work together, students benefit in powerful ways.

Positive behavior is another key to student success. By reinforcing respect, responsibility, and kindness at home and at school, we help our children develop the character skills they need now and in the future. Together, we can ensure our students understand the importance of making good choices and treating others with care.

As we move forward into this new year, we look forward to continuing our strong partnership with you. Together, with a strong Home/School connection, we can help ensure that our students grow into the successful, confident people they were meant to be.

Thank you for being a valued part of our Barack Obama Elementary School family. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and successful New Year.

With appreciation and pride,

Dr. Jacqueline Drye, Principal
