Parents updates

 
Families, 

We are three weeks away from the 2018-19 school year! We are looking forward to seeing our students, we have missed them! On Friday the 10th we will be sending out our mailer to our families that will contain teacher placements, PTA and Foundation information, and supply lists. 

Class placement: 

We have put a lot of thought and considerations into our class placements to support all students. Thank you to those families that shared recommendations of classroom settings for their learners. I have taken those into consideration along with the recommendations of previous classroom teachers to create balanced classes that support all students. 

PTA & Foundation 
At Underwood Elementary, we are lucky to have two amazing opportunities for parents to support our students and teachers. Budget cuts have left many schools without, but through our Foundation and PTA, Underwood has been able to maintain high standards for our magnet programming thanks to the support of our amazing families. - Be sure to read the flyer that will be in their class placement envelope that will give more information about both organization and how you can help us at Underwood.

Transportation 

Bus Tags - The WCPSS Transportation Department will continue to use the bus tag system this school year. All students that are assigned a bus (and plan to ride it) will need to have a bus tag. See the WCPSS Transportation website - https://www.wcpss.net/transportation for information about routes, membership, Here Comes The Bus App and more. Please contact Mrs. Mbalia (mmbalia@wcpss.net) if you have questions that are not answered on the website. 

Carpool Tags - We have new carpool tags for our families that will be utilizing carpool this year. Current families with carpool numbers will need to pick up their new tags at Meet the Teacher. New families will need to complete the paperwork in the front office at Meet the Teacher to receive a carpool number. 

We look forward to seeing you all soon! 

Sincerely, 

Travis Shillings, Proud Principal 

Mallory Mbalia, Proud Assistant Principal
