Friday Update, December 12, 2025

Good evening, Sulphur Springs Families and staff, this is Dr. Catherine Kawaguchi, your Superintendent with a Friday update, December 12, 2025.

Dear Families,

We are excited for the upcoming week as we head into winter break! This is a wonderful time for students to learn, connect, and enjoy being together before the holiday season. We encourage all students to attend school every day this coming week so they don’t miss out on the special activities and learning experiences planned.

Please note that winter break begins on December 22nd and continues through January 9th. All students will return to school on Monday, January 12th.

Reminder

Transitional Kindergarten Enrollment

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is part of the K-6 public school system. TK classrooms use developmentally appropriate, play-based curriculum specifically for four-year old students. 

All four-year old students are eligible for TK if the child turns 4 years old on or before September 1, 2026. The Sulphur Springs Union School District offers a full-day TK program for their students. 

We are excited to announce an upcoming District Job Fair—and we’d love to see YOU there!

As a family-focused and student-centered school District, we are always looking for passionate, caring individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of students. Whether you are looking for a new career path, interested in part-time opportunities, or simply want to give back to your school community, we invite you to explore the many ways you can become part of our team.

Please see the Job Fair flyer below for more information. 

Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend. Thank you
