Dear Warm Springs Families,
I hope your winter break provided the opportunity to spend quality time with your family and friends.
As we have started a new calendar year, I would like to thank Warm Springs families for prioritizing a strong home-school partnership. Our students will continue to thrive when we work together. As we settle back into our routines after the winter break, here are a few best practices that will have a positive impact on our students' success:
Read, read, read! Read with and to your child daily. Engage in conversations about the characters and plots of your family's favorite books. Let your children see you read as well.
Attendance is key! School starts at 8:10 AM. We recommend students are dropped off between 7:50 and 8:05 AM. It is highly recommended that travel is planned for non-school days only. Please do your best to schedule appointments for after school. As you know, the District has had to make several cuts to the budget for next year. We lose money, every time a student is absent. We really need to focus on being on time and not missing school unless it is an excused absence, of course. Thank you for your support!
Stay connected with the Warm Springs community! Take advantage of volunteer opportunities, support and help our awesome PTA, or join our ELAC (English Language Advisory Committee) as we still are short members.
On behalf our our entire staff, we are wishing you and your families a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026!
In partnership,
Scott Iwata
Principal

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.
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.
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.
