Good evening OBE parents!
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! Tomorrow we kick off another year
of learning. On behalf of the entire OBE staff, we are looking forward
to seeing all of you tomorrow morning.
This is my 11th year as principal of this amazing school. I
wouldn’t want to do this job anywhere else. I am a native San Diegan
and OB has always held a special place in my heart. The community and
families here make working at OBE a joy.
We are a Leader in Me school, which means we incorporate the principles taught in the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into
our daily routines. Also, we are excited to let families know that all
students will receive introductory Spanish lessons this year, through
Sing and Speak Spanish. Guitars in the Classroom, a music program, is
also returning this year for all students. We are grateful for the
support of our amazing PTA for brining these programs to OBE.
Tomorrow morning, please have your student lineup behind the cone on
the blacktop with the name of their teacher. The bell will ring at 7:45
am. Dismissal for all students tomorrow is at 12:15pm. UTK and
Kindergarten students will have minimum days for the first two weeks.
We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow morning!
In partnership,
Marco Drapeau
