Hello Warm Springs Families,
I hope everyone is settling into our new school year! I want to begin by thanking our families for such a positive start. Your continued support in following our school procedures and expectations has helped make the beginning of the year smooth and successful.
As we continue settling into our routines, please continue to practice and follow all arrival and dismissal traffic guidelines. Following the designated drop-off and pick-up procedures, driving slowly, remaining patient, and watching carefully for students and pedestrians helps keep everyone safe.
Even when traffic seems lighter, it is important that we continue following the same procedures each day. Please take a few minutes to review our traffic guidelines here.
We had fantastic PBIS Kickoff Assemblies today! Students were engaged as we reviewed our challenge for the month: to “freeze” when the recess bell rings and remain quiet before dismissal. These routines are an important part of helping students transition safely and calmly back to class after each recess.
Our PBIS expectations help us maintain a safe, respectful, and positive environment for everyone.
Student Council elections will be coming up soon. Please encourage your child to consider getting involved. Student Council is a wonderful opportunity for students to build leadership skills and contribute to our school community.
I’m excited to share that our Prop 28 Art Lessons have begun, providing additional creative opportunities for all of our students. Mr. Justin Ho is our new art teacher and brings a great deal of experience and enthusiasm to Warm Springs. He is on campus twice a week, and students will rotate each month through his art classroom.
We are happy to announce that afterschool band will once again be offered this year. More information will be shared soon as we finalize the program with Mr. Benevides, our fantastic band instructor from Irvington High School.
If your child is interested in trying out for the upcoming basketball season, please review the information below and, most importantly, schedule your child’s physical as soon as possible. Students must have a completed physical before they can participate in tryouts, and unfortunately, we are unable to make exceptions.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. Together, we can continue making Warm Springs a safe, welcoming, and wonderful place for our students to learn and grow!
In partnership,
Scott Iwata
Principal
Please make sure to visit Mrs. Browns webpage for all Counselor related information.
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. Once completed, keep the forms at home. Information on when to turn in these forms will be posted in the October or November Parent Newsletter.
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 also informed your teacher. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you are having problems logging into your Student's Google Account please follow these instructions provided by our Computer Specialist, Mr. Andronic.
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. Smaller or valuable items will be kept in the office. 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.
