8/12/24 --Board Meeting Agenda
Below is an update regarding the timeline for transportation for the upcoming school year.
Later next week we will begin constructing the bus routes based on the information pulled from student registration within JMC. By waiting we ensure that the majority of families get their students registered before beginning creating the routes. This helps ensure that we do not have to make major changes after the fact due to students not being registered. If you are unsure if you marked that part on your registration please fill out the form linked here: https://forms.gle/XUcfhHpr1AV7G6Qf7.
On 8/19 all drivers will report and go through their routes and assign approximate pick-up/drop-off times. After this the driver will touch base with each family on their route via telephone to go through the approximate pick-up and drop-off times. These phone calls will take place on 8/19-8/21.
If you are to be receiving transportation and you have NOT heard from your driver by 8/22 please reach out directly to Mr. Hamilton (thamilton@underwoodschools.org) via email.
Thrilled to announce that Dave Lyon Towing and Repair is back again as a student ticket sponsor for the 24-25 school year!

Join our team! Job openings as of 8/5.
Last Thursday was Mr. Jacobsen's second first day with Underwood! Mr. Jacobsen will be back again at the middle school serving as the MS Principal/Director of Student Services for the 24-25 school year.
