Dear Warm Springs Families,
March is here, and our school is buzzing with energy and excitement! We have a month filled with wonderful opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and celebrate their hard work. Here are some of the key highlights for the month ahead:
Celebrating Our Readers We are right in the middle of our Read-A-Thon Fundraiser, which runs through March 13th! This is such a fantastic way to encourage a love of reading while supporting our school programs. We’ve also been having a blast with Read Across America Spirit Week, celebrating everything from "Oceans of Stories" to "Flying with School Spirit."
Shout out to our wonderful basketball coaches, Ms. Casey and Mr. Shiramizu! Thank you for doing such an awesome job teaching our student-athletes the value of hard work and teamwork. Most importantly, thank you for showing them how to be great teammates and practice positive sportsmanship. We truly appreciate all the extra time and dedication you pour into our students! Congratulations to both teams for having a successful season.
Upcoming Events & Highlights
PBIS Monthly Challenge: We are kicking off a new PBIS Monthly Challenge on March 9th to continue fostering our positive school culture.
School Spirit & Arts: Don't miss our PTA Movie Night in the MUR on March 6th at 5:00 PM—it’s always a wonderful community evening.
Our talented students are also hard at work preparing for the Variety Show, with rehearsals beginning on March 9th.
Important Dates
March 13th: Please note there is NO SCHOOL due to a Staff Development Day. Report cards will also be posted to the Parent Portal on this day.
March 14th – March 22nd: Enjoy a well-deserved Spring Break! We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed on March 23rd.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making Warm Springs such an amazing place for our students to thrive. Have a wonderful March everyone!
In partnership,
Scott Iwata

Congratulations to Joshua Y. from room 25 on qualifying for the 2026 Regional Spelling Bee! He will be representing Warm Springs in the Regional Spelling Bee on March 29th. Way to go Joshua!
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.
Please make sure to visit Mrs. Browns webpage for all Counselor related information.

FUSD Instructional Calendars
Horner will be hosting a Parent Night on April 30, 2026 for current 5th graders who will be attending Horner Middle School next school year. This event is for parents/guardians only as students will receive video information at our school site at the end of March. See flyer for more information.
As a reminder, students are not to be dropped off at school until 7:45am, if they will be having breakfast on campus. If they are not having breakfast, students are not allowed to be dropped off until 7:55am. This policy is for the safety of your student since there is no supervision prior to these times.
Drivers, please do not exit your vehicle while using the valet. If your student will need assistance getting in or out of the vehicle, please park across the street so you can assist them. Student backpacks, lunch bags, etc. should be with them and not in the trunk of the vehicle. Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep our valet system moving smoothly.
Please refer to this slide deck that was sent out in the beginning of the year regarding our pick up and drop off procedures in the valet.
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.
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.
