New Underwood School District 51-3

Hello Tiger Families,

We discovered an error on the mileage forms. The parent mileage voucher currently lists the date as September 11, 2026. Please note, this should correctly read September 11, 2025, and forms must be turned in by this date.

Thank you for your understanding and attention to this correction.

Some of the proceeds from our book fair last school year was used to purchase more books for the library. Thanks for all the families and students that support the library! The theme this year for the library is Joyful Reading. We all hope you are able to find time during your busy days to read together or find that slice of solitude to read independently. Take a look at the book list of new arrivals that were purchased with book fair dollars!

Hello Tiger Families,

We hope to see you all at Open House today from 2:00–6:00 PM!

Student Council will be offering snacks from 2:00–4:00 PM.

You can find your locker, pick up your schedule, and collect any forms you may need.

Laptops will not be available for pick-up yet, but if you selected insurance during registration, you may make your payment today.

We’re excited to kick off the school year—Go Tigers!

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.

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).
