Dear Warm Springs Families,
As we step into April, we’re entering an exciting season filled with learning, celebrations, and important milestones. Our students have been showing great focus and effort, and we’re proud of the momentum they’ve built as we head toward the final stretch of the school year.
One of the recent highlights on campus was our Variety Show, which was a huge hit with our students! Held during the school day, it gave our performers the opportunity to shine in front of their peers. The energy, creativity, and talent on display were incredible, and it was heartwarming to see so many students cheering each other on and celebrating one another’s unique gifts. Shout out to: Ms. Casey, Mrs. Stafford and Ms. Wong for organizing and guiding such a fun experience for our students!
Looking ahead, state testing begins on Monday, April 27. Our students have been preparing all year, and we’re confident they are ready to do their best. Please help set them up for success by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time during testing days.
We are also looking forward to welcoming families to our Open House on Tuesday, April 14, starting at 5:00 p.m. It’s a great time to visit classrooms, see student work, and connect with teachers. Please remember that this will be a minimum day, with 3rd grade dismissal at 12:05 p.m. and 4th and 5th grade dismissal at 12:10 p.m. The Book Fair will also be open so please make sure to support our library.
As always, we encourage all students - especially our 5th graders preparing for their next chapter at Horner Jr. High - to finish the school year strong by maintaining their focus until the last day of school.
Have a wonderful April everyone!
In partnership,
Scott Iwata
Principal

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.
