Week of April 25 - 29th

 Families,

I hope that everyone had a good first week back from break and are ready to have a great last week in April! Below are some updates as we end out the school year and prepare for next school year. 

Parent Survey: 

We need to hear from YOU!  Panorama Education Survey is a family survey to learn more about you and your child's experiences at Underwood.  Please take 10 minutes to complete THIS SURVEY between now and May 6, 2022.  Your honest feedback is essential as we work to create the best school experience possible!

 

EOG Dates: 

3rd Grade	EOG ELA     6/01/22	EOG MATH       6/03/22
4th Grade	EOG ELA    6/01/21	EOG MATH       6/03/21
5th Grade	EOG ELA     6/02/21	EOG MATH       6/06/21	EOG SCIENCE    6/07/21

 

Planning for Next school Year

Hard to believe, but we are in preparation for next school year and our staffing is determined by the number of students enrolled by the 10th day of school.  If you know that your child or children will not be returning to Underwood for the 2022-2023 school year, please email Mrs. Collins (hcollins@wcpss.net) letting us know.  This is also a requirement by WCPSS for parents to notify the school if you plan on not returning to a Wake County School. 

 

Teacher’s For Next School Year 

Feel free to email me (tshillings@wcpss.net) the type of learning environment and instructor that your child does well with as I look at assigning classrooms for next school year. Please don’t provide individual teacher’s names, but characteristics of the type of teacher that he/she/they does well with on a daily basis.

Summer Activities: 
The Millbrook High School Boys' Soccer Program will be hosting our 2nd annual Youth Summer Soccer Camp on July 18th through 21st 2022; 5:00 to 7:30 pm. Last summer we hosted over 100 elementary, middle school and rising freshman at camp, and we plan to have another great event this July.
 
Our Camp is fully insured, and all profits go directly to the Millbrook High School Boys' Soccer Program.  We used the funds generated from our last camp to purchase a storage shed for our JV/Varsity teams and supplement the cost of new jerseys.  More information can be found by clicking this link.

Week of April 4th - 8th

Families,

I hope this email finds you all well and healthy! Below are updates for this week. Remember next week will be our spring break, so no school from April 11-15th. We will start back on Monday the 18th. 

Curriculum and Instruction: 

Report Cards (grade level and electives) will go home on Tuesday. These report cards reflect your child’s progress on the NC Standard Course of Study for their current grade. Please email the teacher of record for any clarifications. Our classroom teachers are trying to complete all parent teacher conferences by the end of this week. 

Wishing Well! 

• LaSaundra Booth (Strings Teacher) -- she has decided to resign from her teaching position effective April 15th (so April 8th would be her last day on campus). Thank you Dr. Booth for your work with our Strings students and wish you well in your future endeavors! We will be working on securing a substitute for the remainder of the school year.

Spring Pictures: 

Spring Picture order forms will be going home tomorrow in Tuesday Folders. The family has a few options:

1.  Purchase the whole package 

2. Purchase only the sheets they want and return the others with their payment 

3. Return the whole package

You can pay by: check, cash or online. We encourage the child to return the packages if they do not want it.  We ask that the families return everything by April 26th, considering spring break, for all unsold packages and monies.

Fastbreak Football Camp is unique in that it focuses on character education, general athletic development, and weight room fundamentals in addition to football specific instruction.  Coaches at Fastbreak Football Camp will teach young athletes the key character traits required of good teammates, the fundamentals of the game of football, and the athletic postures and movements necessary to excel in any sport. Instruction will be clear and concrete. Activities will be fun and fast-paced.
