Celebrations!
- Thanks to Karen for her help preparing Q3 elective signs!
- Continuing to work together and cover classes and duties throughout the school week. We need to continue to work together to be successful!
Eschools: Please be sure to complete your evaluations in Eschools, so they are feeding into your transcript to renew your license!
ER Day- In an effort to honor time and listen to your needs, we are going to provide you an hour to complete things in your classroom or with your team and then an hour of staff development. We know how sitting for an hour can un-motivate some to go back and work in your classrooms (on a Friday), so we are offering a survey to determine the best way to deliver the professional development. Please vote for your top choice!

Critical Thinking
Spotlight on Students - The Spotlight on Students is a recognition ceremony for 5th graders at Underwood who have either overcome a challenge, or made significant personal and/or academic growth, and also show positive character traits. Please see the attached form for a list of criteria that can be used when choosing students.
If there is a 5th grader that fits this description, please email Amy the name and 3-5 sentences about that student and why they are being recognized.
