Hello Warm Springs Families,
I can’t believe we are already stepping into November! I’d like to begin by sharing how excited we are to welcome two new members to our school community. Our new art teacher, Mrs. Kwynn Uyehara, has joined us and will be teaching one period of art to every classroom throughout the year. This will give all of our students a meaningful opportunity to explore creativity, build new skills, and enjoy hands-on artistic expression. We are also thrilled to welcome our new school therapist, Ms. Andrea Lepe. She will be supporting students who need more intensive social-emotional support, and her presence on campus is an excellent resource that will strengthen our overall care for students.
I also want to share our heartfelt appreciation for our incredible PTA and for Mrs. Huffmaster, one of our science teachers, for hosting such an amazing Fall Stampede. Our students had an absolute blast—running, laughing, and celebrating together. Thank you to all of our families for your generous donations and continued support. Your contribution truly makes a difference, helping us bring exciting activities and enriching experiences to our classrooms and to our entire school.
Next week marks the start of Family Conferences, a special time for us to connect, celebrate student growth, and partner together in supporting continued progress. If you need time with any of our specialists, please use the provided link and reach out to them directly to schedule an appointment.
Please make sure to note the following Family Conference schedule changes:
Wednesday, November 19 – Regular Wednesday schedule: 3rd grade dismisses at 1:10, 4th/5th at 1:25
Thursday, November 20 – 3rd grade dismisses at 12:04, 4th/5th at 12:21
Friday, November 21 – No school due to conferences
As we head into the holiday, we hope your Thanksgiving break is filled with family, gratitude, and rest. I know our family will be enjoying this time together.
In partnership,
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.
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.
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.
