Communication 

Melanie - very sad for us and our students, but are excited for your new opportunity. You have been a fantastic staff member at Underwood and you will be greatly missed.

With our projected student numbers, we are projected to have two less teaching positions then we currently have and there has not been a determination for the foundation funding positions. Our school staffing plan is due to human resources by May 13th. I have had conversations with individuals that this would impact for next school year. There has not be a decision for the shifting of teachers based on changes at grade levels.

Collaboration 

Wellness Fair -- What a great day for our students. Thank you staff for being flexible with the schedule due to the rain. Thank you to the wellness committee for the hard work.
