Underwood Families, 

Thank you to all those that participating in our School Family Picnic! It was a great night to connect with families and enjoy the time together! 

Curriculum Support
Are you looking at ways to support your child at home? Here are some WCPSS Parent resources - https://www.wcpss.net/domain/4696.  There are two sites I suggest that you take a look at and bookmark if you are looking for ways to support your students with their homework and classroom lessons and curriculum -- Homework Resources and Parent Resource Center. These are updated by WCPSS curriculum and instruction department.

October 7-11

Underwood Families, 

We are into the second week of October and are halfway through the first quarter. We are working on ways to be kind in school, at home, and in our community. This is done through being helpful, saying kind words, and wishing others well when they are not having a good day. Here are a couple of reminders for the week:

Back to School Picnic 
We look forward to having our school family at Underwood on October from 5:30 - 7:00. Bring your blanket and/or chairs along with dinner to join us on the playground. Don’t feel like bringing dinner, try out one of the food trucks that will be on campus. We have Burger 21 and Big Mike’s Barbeque along with Kona Ice coming.  Students are able to play on the bounce houses and playground until 7. 

Reminder that at school, we expect PRIDE to be followed:

• Practice Self-Control -  staying in assigned areas (playground), walking in the building (going to use the bathroom) and are watching where they are going during the day 
• Responsibility is key - staying with your family during the picnic 
• Identify Safe Choice - using the equipment appropriately, follow expectations on the bounce house 
• Demonstrate Respect - put trash where it goes, clean up after each other, and watching where we are going and if you make an oops make it right
• Excel in School - clean up our mess, treat each other with respect

Morning Arrival 
Thank you for your patience this morning during morning arrival -- Monday commute. We are hoping that tomorrow we will be back to our normal arrival process.
