Giving Thanks Message to Families
Gratitude for Our Obama Global Prep Community
Principal's Message
Dear Obama Global Prep Families,
As we enter this season of gratitude, my heart is filled with appreciation for the amazing families and staff who continue to support the growth of our school community. Your care, encouragement, and commitment make Obama Global Prep a place where our scholars can learn, grow, and feel valued. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your children.
As we approach the final weeks of the semester, let us continue to surround our students with high expectations, a strong sense of belonging, and the encouragement to pursue greatness. Every scholar needs to hear, “You belong here. You are capable. Your future matters.” When we pair those words with patience, guidance, and consistent support, we help our children find the confidence to keep going—even when learning feels difficult.
Please continue to celebrate their progress, encourage them to complete their assignments, and remind them that asking for help is a sign of strength. A conversation about their day, a few words of encouragement, or time spent reading together can remind them that they do not walk this journey alone.
Thank you for trusting us with your children and for the many ways you give to our community. To our dedicated staff, thank you for the heart and purpose you bring to this work each day. Together, we can help our scholars finish this semester with pride, knowing they are loved, supported, and capable of accomplishing great things.
With gratitude and warmth,
Principal Hoback

Your help with an urgent safety concern still remains.
Some students are being dropped off on the opposite side of the street and crossing to reach campus.
Please use the valet drop-off area and do not have your student cross the street to reach school. Set aside an extra 5 to 10 minutes, follow the directions of staff, and be patient with other families. We know mornings are busy, but taking this time helps protect every student. This is a matter of safety.
Thank you for working with us to keep our scholars safe.
Attendance Expectations
Regular attendance is crucial for student success. We aim for all students and staff to have an attendance rate of 96%.
Students must arrive at school and be in class at 7:50 am.
When students are absent, they are expected to return to school with a note explaining their absence.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding attendance, please contact our Attendance Counselor at (323) 421-1700.
