Dear Warm Springs Families,

It’s hard to believe that we are already in May! What a great year it’s been, and I hope you have had the opportunity to appreciate your child’s teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. A heartfelt thank you to our PTA for organizing the breakfast treats and luncheon for our dedicated staff.

As part of our wonderful Wolf Pack at Warm Springs, we have so much to be thankful for when it comes to the dedication and hard work of all of our teachers and staff.

We’ve also kicked off state testing and we’ll be wrapping it up in the next couple of weeks. Please help ensure your child is well-rested and ready to do their best.

Don’t forget to join us for the Student Council-sponsored Ice Cream Social on Friday, May 15, at 4:00 PM in the gym. It’s a fun way to celebrate the end of the year and enjoy some sweet treats together. This Warm Springs pastime was paused once we went into lockdown. Thank you to Mrs. Yao, Ms. Strause, and Ms. Quach, our Student Council Advisors, for bringing this tradition back!

As we approach the end of the school year, please note that the final week of school will follow a minimum day schedule. Be sure to check the times below for early dismissal:

Monday, May 25: No School, Memorial Day
Friday, May 29: 3rd grade out at 12:04, 4th & 5th grade out at 12:21
Monday, June 1: 3rd grade out at 12:04, 4th & 5th grade out at 12:21
Tuesday, June 2: Last Day of School and 5th Grade Promotion - 3rd grade out at 12:04, 4th & 5th grade out at 12:21

We are looking forward to the final stretch of the school year!

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 Wednesday, August 12, the first day of school!

In partnership,

Scott Iwata
Principal

Variety Showcase

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this year's Variety Show. Unfortunately we were not able to open it to our families due to space restrictions. However, each performance was recorded to share with our community. Please find your student's group number and enjoy!

2025 - 2026 Warm Springs Variety Show

Drama Club Performance

Warm Springs' first ever Drama Club was a HUGE success! Thank you so much to Ms. Tang and Ms. Yao for creating / supervising this wonderful after school club. The members worked hard all year and ended with a Drama Club Performance. Here is the link to the performance for those of you who were not able to attend.

2026-2027 Input for Student Placement Consideration

This form is optional and parents should not feel they must complete this form. Request for Student Placement Consideration forms must be submitted using this form, no later than: FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2026, BY 4:00 P.M. NO FORMS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DATE AND TIME.

FUSD Annual Parent Data Confirmation

Be on the lookout for emails from the District Office over the summer break! Parents/Guardians will be receiving information regarding confirmation of their student's registration data (previously referred to as Online MAZE Day) through their Aeries Parent Portal.

Fremont Unified School District’s annual Parent Data Confirmation process is for parents/guardians to:

provide/update 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.

Confirming this information 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.

While the process does not start until later in the summer break, we strongly recommend that you take a few moments and log into your Aeries Parent Portal now to address any access issues you may encounter since the office will be closed over the summer.

Parents/Guardians will receive their email information at the email address indicated in the Aeries Parent Portal. Please verify that your email information is correct. Check your spam folders to be sure you are receiving these important emails.

2026 - 2027 Basketball Participation

Warm Springs participates in girls & boys basketball. 5th-grade students are able to try out for the teams. Due to the large amount of 5th grade classes we have, we are not able to have 3rd or 4th graders try out.

If your student is interested in trying out for the 2026 - 2027 Warm Springs Basketball Team, they will need to submit a Preparticipation Physical Evaluation form prior to trying out. A physician will need to complete this form. Please plan ahead as medical appointments tend to take awhile to obtain. Information on when to turn in these forms will be posted in the October or November Parent Newsletter.

Medication Pick Up

Many of our students have a supply of medication at school. A parent or guardian is required to pick up their child’s medication(s) by the last day of school, June 2nd. Medications cannot be released to students. All medications that are not picked up by June 2nd will be discarded.

Lost and Found

Don't forget to have your students check the Lost and Found clothing rack if they have misplaced any of their belongings. It is located outside the kitchen of the office building. All unclaimed items will be donated to local charities during the school breaks.

To help recover lost items, be sure to write your student’s first and last name inside their items (jackets, lunch boxes, umbrellas, hats, etc.) if there’s a possibility of it being lost. Either write your student’s name with a permanent marker or on a piece of tape to place on their items. Items found with names on them will be returned to their owners.

Summer Office Hours

The school office will close for the Summer Break on Friday, June 5th and will reopen on Monday, August 3rd.

If you are planning on moving over the summer, please contact the Student Support Services Department at sss@fusdk12.net or (510) 659-2514. You may also view their website.

FUSD Instructional Calendars

2025-26 School Year Instructional Calendar

2026-27 School Year Instructional Calendar

Office Policy Reminder

Please remember that we do not forward parent/guardian messages to students during the school day as this disrupts instruction. Horner Middle School, also follows this same protocol. As a reminder we also have a "No Drop Off" policy except for medication and glasses. We do not accept homework, projects, lunches, water bottles, etc. We will provide a free lunch if needed and have a filtered water station on campus. Thank you for helping your students learn to be responsible and accountable.

Student Appointments / Early Pick Up

In order to preserve valuable instruction time, please make appointments for your student before or after school hours when possible. Not only are they missing instruction time but it is also disruptive to the rest of the class when the teacher is interrupted by your student's early dismissal. However, if you need to pick up your student, please be mindful of the bell schedule. Once all of the students are dismissed for recess or lunch, it is unsafe to have one of our supervisors leave their area unsupervised to find a student that is being picked up. For the safety of all of our students, please pick your student up either before or after the recess or lunch periods. Be sure to inform your teacher and bring an ID when checking out your student. Thank you for your cooperation.

Remember to read the Announcements and Headlines on the Warm Springs website, too. Additional information is posted there as it comes up on a day to day basis.

Warm Springs Nondiscrimination Policy

It is the policy of Warm Springs to provide a school and work environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. Schools will provide a positive learning environment which promotes respect for all students and staff of the school community.

In accordance with this policy, Warm Springs will not tolerate discrimination in any form, nor will it tolerate behavior by students or staff that harasses insults, degrades, or stereotypes any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, marital status, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation.
