School Family,
We had a productive a successful first week back from break. Here are some updates for the week:
Thank you Underwood
Dear Underwood Families,
It is with sincere gratitude for your support the last two years that I am informing you that I will not be returning to Underwood next year. I can not express how hard this decision has been for me. I have the opportunity to walk into a position that is very impactful in the community. I am excited about the possibility of being able to serve a larger population but I am very sad to leave my Underwood family. I will continue at Underwood until June 28th. Thank you for trusting your children with me and sharing so many joyous times! I will stay in touch and wish everyone a fabulous academic journey. I will miss the kids, the staff and you the families so much. Once again thank you for allowing me to be a part of the Underwood family these last two years. Wishing you all well!
With sincere respect and gratitude,
Mallory Mbalia, Assistant Principal

Walk/Bike to School Day
Walk/Bike to School Day will be May 17th! We encourage all students to walk or bike to school if possible. For the families that do not actually live in “walking distance,” we have spoken to Hayes Barton Baptist Church and they have approved us to park there to allow students to walk to school. Will send more information closer to the event! Happy Walking!!!

Last week for the Panorama Parent Survey!!!
Parents, the window to participate in the Panorama Survey closes on May 2nd. If you have not received an email, please take a few minutes to fill out this survey from this link. Your input is vital to our school growth to make Underwood the best school for all children!
2019-20 Transportation:
Bus Rider Registration 2019-20 School Year: On Friday, May 10, 2019, we will begin receiving (via the web and the Transportation Module) requests from transportation eligible families for the 2019-20 school year.
May 10th Broadcast Message for Families: We will be sending a broadcast message via School Messenger to all current bus riders that are eligible for transportation communicating the following: If your transportation eligible child will be riding the bus from the same address to the same school next year, you do not need to take action. If you need to update your bus service, please go online.
Up-to-date transportation information is available in your student’s Home Base/PowerSchool account. More information on Home Base is available at www.wcpss.net/student-information.
If your student is assigned to transportation but is not a rider, parents are to submit the online form so that we have the most up-to-date information. Parents do not have to register for transportation services if their student has special transportation as a related service.
