Our Mission
Underwood Elementary's mission is to create a united effort between the school, home, and community.

Together, we seek to individualize education for all learners and help children reach their full potential.
These skills and behaviors include being:
- a reflective learner
- a problem solver
- a person who respects self and others
- a person who recognizes the importance of being a life-long learner
