New Underwood School District 51-3

Join us on August 14th for the Library's 2nd annual Open House Event!

We would like to invite all incoming 6th grade students and their parents/families to our second annual Jumpstart meeting on Monday, August 18th at 1PM in the main gym.

The New Underwood Middle School staff will review all things necessary to help the first few days of middle school go much smoother. Students and parents will have the opportunity to review the student handbook, practice their lockers, and do a schedule walkthrough where they will meet their teachers. Additionally, we will provide an opportunity for students and/or families to ask question to the middle school staff.

Again, we will begin this program in the main gym at 1PM and should be concluded by 3:30PM. Please feel free to contact the school if you have questions.

We hope to see you all there on Monday, August 18th.

Sincerely,
Mr. Quigley, K12 Prinicipal
Mr. Oleson, K12 Dean/Assistant Principal

Changes are coming to the New Underwood School District campus! Beginning July 7, demolition of the outdoor basketball court will begin to make room for new modular classrooms (plans will begin for relocation of the court once this project is complete). These classrooms will provide much-needed classroom space to support student learning. Stay tuned for updates as we build for the future of our school and community!
