Halloween energy filled the halls today at both the elementary and middle school as our elementary students celebrated with classroom parties before parading their costumes through the middle school. #WeAreTheU

7th graders completed a temperature lab to see how thermal energy affects temperature! #WeAreTheU

We were made aware of a mistake on the School Board voting ballots for Tuesday’s upcoming election. Please see the statement from the Pottawattamie County Auditor's Office:

"Ballots for the Underwood School District for the General Election on November 4, 2025 incorrectly state “Vote for No More Than Three” for School Board. The correct instruction is “Vote for No More Than Two” candidates. We apologize for any confusion this may cause."

We hope to see everyone out voting on Tuesday! #WeAreTheU

Best of luck to the football team as they travel to West Marshall for round 2 of the playoffs!
