Congratulations to the PE winners for the weeks of October 24-November 6. These kiddos all had positive attitudes, great effort, and wonderful sportsmanship!

Focus on communication, teamwork, delegation, patience, and trust were all skills tackled as part of the cybersecurity escape room 7th grade worked on! Discovering what they learned, their strengths and weaknesses, and applying real life skills truly put them to a test!

Congratulations to Levi Repnow who attended the 46th annual NW Festival in Minot this past weekend and received a 5-year award. Levi has been auditioning and attending this festival for 5 years in a row. What a great way to represent Underwood school!

Exciting day at our assembly yesterday! We had a candy corn relay race, a few teachers got pied, and we had all of our call outs/student of the month recognized. Congratulations Brinley on being named student of the month for October!

Congratulations to our Accelerated Reader Stars of the Month for October: Hadley, Khloe, Cooper, and Pearce! Way to read!

Elementary staff: making learning spooktacular!

This is to inform everyone about the dismissal plan on Thursday and Friday this week because of the District 8 Volleyball Tournament. Elementary students will be dismissed and sent out the southwest door by the playground. 7-12 students who are in band/choir and weight training can be dismissed through the same doors. All other students must leave through the door by the north stairwell, which leads to the teacher parking lot.
