Hello Warm Springs Families,
It's been a busy and exciting December here at Warm Springs, filled with growth and accomplishments across our campus. Last month’s PBIS Caring Food Drive Challenge was a wonderful success, and our students and families showed incredible generosity as our community came together to support others. Our students were also proud to earn a PBIS reward of extra recess - such a fun and well-deserved way to celebrate their hard work, positive choices, and Wolf Pack spirit.
We are also excited to announce the start of after-school band, and we can’t wait to watch our students’ musical talents grow throughout the year.
Another highlight this month is our Young Authors competition. Our students poured their creativity, imagination, and heart into their writing, and we are so proud of every participant. The winners for each grade level are posted in this newsletter, and we encourage you to take a moment to celebrate their wonderful accomplishments.
Congratulations as well to all the students who made the basketball teams—your dedication and effort has truly paid off. And to our students who didn’t make the team this time, please keep working and stay encouraged. Horner has two teams, one for 6th and 7th graders and another for 8th graders, and we want every student to keep building skills and confidence along the way. A huge thank you to our amazing coaches, Ms. Casey and Mr. Shiramizu, for dedicating their time and energy to teach our students not only the game, but also the importance of teamwork and commitment.
I also want to share a big thank you to our incredible PTA for the Fall luncheon they hosted last month. It was such a thoughtful way to show appreciation for our hardworking staff, and we are so grateful for how supportive our PTA always is. We are also excited and thankful for the Winter Holiday luncheon coming up next week - our PTA truly goes above and beyond for our school, and we appreciate them so much.
Reminder: Friday, December 19 is a minimum day. Third grade will be dismissed at 12:04, and fourth and fifth grades will be dismissed at 12:21. Please adjust your schedules accordingly for pick-up times.
On behalf of the entire Warm Springs staff, we wish you a wonderful, safe holiday season. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, ready to continue our journey of learning and growth.
With gratitude and Wolf pride,
Scott Iwata
Principal

Lost and Found
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.

Valet Reminder
Valet Reminder
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.
Safety Concerns - No Early Drop Offs
Safety Concerns - No Early Drop Offs
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.
Office Policy Reminder
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
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.
