Hello Warm Springs Families,
I hope this message finds you well as we soon approach summer! As we wrap up another amazing school year, I want to start by expressing our heartfelt gratitude to the PTA for their incredible treats and luncheon during Teacher's Appreciation Week. Your generosity and support truly made our teachers feel special and appreciated.
This month, we have successfully completed our state testing, and I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students have shown. As we look ahead, we have several exciting events to celebrate the achievements of our graduating 5th graders.
Our 5th-grade graduation ceremony will take place on May 31 at 8:20 a.m. on the lower blacktop. This milestone is a momentous occasion, and we are excited to celebrate it with a special trip to Aqua Adventure. Additionally, on May 30 at 8:30 a.m. our staff will be playing the 5th graders in a softball game on the upper baseball field—an event we know they will love!
Please note that there will be no school this Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. As we approach the last week of school, please set reminders for the minimum day schedule: Thursday and Friday, May 30 and 31. On these days, 3rd grade will be dismissed at 12:14 p.m., and 4th and 5th grades will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m. Please make the necessary arrangements for these pick-up times.
On behalf of the entire Warm Springs staff, I would like to thank all of you for your incredible support throughout the year. Special thanks to our volunteers who have played a crucial role in making this year another amazing one here at Warm Springs.
To our graduating 5th graders, we wish you all the best at Horner next year. We are confident in your future success and want you to remember that you will always be a Warm Springs Wolf! Have a wonderful summer, everyone! For those returning, we look forward to seeing you on August 14, the first day of school!
In partnership,
Scott Iwata
Principal

Aeries Parent Portal & 2024-25 MAZE Process
Fremont Unified will transition from Infinite Campus to Aeries as our student information system for the 2024-25 school year. In July 2024, parents and guardians of students enrolled for 2024-25 will receive information to activate their Aeries Parent Portal, and will use the Portal to complete the annual MAZE process, called “Parent Data Confirmation” in Aeries.
MAZE is Fremont Unified School District’s annual data confirmation process in which parents/guardians:
provide required information for each enrolled student - such as emergency contacts,
acknowledge certain parent/guardian and student rights and responsibilities, and
access specific school forms/information.
Completing the MAZE process ensures your student’s school has accurate information, and allows families to view student schedules/classroom assignments and their teachers when that information is released in August.
Please look out for additional information about activating your Aeries Parent Portal and completing the MAZE process in the coming months.
Warm Springs Science Teacher Hired for 2024-2025
We are excited to announce that we will have a full-time Science Prep teacher next year! All 5th graders will receive science prep, as they need to take the CAST (California Science Test). The remaining time slots will be filled by 4th graders, followed by a few spots for 3rd graders. Although the full-time position cannot accommodate every class each week, students will receive science prep as they move up in grade level, ensuring they get prioritized access in subsequent years.
