Hello Warm Springs Families,
As we step into April, we're diving into an exciting month filled with learning, celebrations, and preparations for the end of the school year. State testing is just around the corner, starting on April 29. Our students have been working hard to prepare, and I have full confidence in their abilities to showcase their learning.
This week, our students had a blast at the assembly on the Magic of Science. It was a captivating experience that sparked curiosity and enthusiasm for science in all of us. We're grateful for the opportunity to bring such engaging programs to our school.
I'm thrilled to invite you to our Open House on Tuesday, April 23, starting at 5:00 p.m. Please note that this will be a minimum day, with 3rd grade students being dismissed at 12:11 p.m. and 4th and 5th graders at 12:20 p.m. PLEASE make sure to arrange your schedule for these pickup times. It's a wonderful opportunity to see the amazing work your children have been doing and to meet with their teachers.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for May 11, 1pm-4pm, when our PTA will be hosting a carnival right here at Warm Springs. Details can be found in the flyer included in this newsletter. It promises to be a fun-filled event for the whole family.
As we have one more month to go, I encourage you to continue supporting your child to finish the year strong, especially our 5th graders who will soon be graduating to Horner Jr. High. Let's celebrate their achievements and help them prepare for the exciting challenges ahead.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Together, we make Warm Springs Elementary a place where every child can thrive.
In partnership,
Scott Iwata
Principal

Warm Springs Science Corner
Here are some students working through out the month in our various science labs, for some hands on science activities. Lawerence Hall of Science will be visiting Warm Springs this Spring! They will provide an assembly for all student and go over Solids, Liquids, and Gases. I know our students will enjoy this assembly.
Office Policy Reminder
We do not send messages to students as this disrupts instruction. If you forgot to tell your child something, please email their teacher. Horner Middle School, follows this same protocol. For drop off items, please remember we only accept medication and glasses. We provide free lunch if needed and we have filtered water as well as emergency water, in all classrooms. We do not accept homework, projects, lunches, etc.
Our school is looking for monetary donations to help replace old/broken equipment on our school site (ie. poster maker, die cut machine, stage curtains, padding in the MUR, etc.). Every donation helps us reach our goal of providing fun and educational experiences to our students. All donations are appreciated, and all donors will be recognized on our website.
We appreciate your time and consideration, as together, we can make a difference in the lives of many students. You may donate online through My School Bucks to make a secure donation online (fees may apply) and specify “General School Donation” in the “Donate to Classroom #” section. Or, you may drop off donations in our front office on school days from 7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Checks may be written to FUSD/Warm Springs Elementary.

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.
