UPDATE: Earlier Release

<Please scroll down for English version>

Liebe Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte,

aufgrund der aktuellen Wetterwarnung in unserer Region und im Interesse der Sicherheit aller Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Mitarbeitenden beenden wir den Unterricht und das Kindergartenprogramm heute vorzeitig um 12:55 Uhr. Die Schulbusse werden das Schulgelände um 13:05 Uhr verlassen.

Um eine ungefähre Ankunftszeit an Ihrer Haltestelle zu ermitteln, bitten wir Sie, sich an den Zeiten der regulären Busroute zu orientieren.

Wenn Ihr Kind nicht mit dem Bus fährt, holen Sie es bitte um 12:55 Uhr ab.

Sollte sich die Wettersituation so entwickeln, dass es erforderlich ist, werden wir selbstverständlich alle Schülerinnen und Schüler sicher in den Gebäuden behalten und Schutz im Gebäude gewährleisten, bis eine sichere Situation gegeben ist.

Falls Sie aufgrund von Verkehr oder Wetter nicht genau um 12:55 Uhr zur Abholung eintreffen können, werden wir die Kinder weiterhin in den jeweiligen Gebäuden – Preschool, Elementary School und im Hauptgebäude – betreuen und im Gebäude lassen, bis Sie sicher an der Schule angekommen sind, um Ihr Kind abzuholen.

Bitte fahren Sie vorsichtig, versuchen Sie jedoch so zeitnah wie möglich zur Schule zu kommen, da wir bemüht sind, die Gebäude für die Sicherheit aller Beteiligten so bald wie möglich nach 12:55 Uhr zu leeren.

Sollte es zu Verzögerungen bei der Abfahrt der Schulbusse kommen, werden wir Sie selbstverständlich umgehend mit einem weiteren Update informieren.

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis und wünschen Ihnen und Ihrer Familie, dass Sie gut und sicher durch das heutige Wetter kommen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Die Schulleitung

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to the severe weather alert in our region, and in the interest of the safety of all students and staff, classes and the preschool program will end early today at 12:55 pm. School buses will depart campus at 1:05 pm.

To estimate the approximate arrival time at your bus stop, please refer to the times listed on the regular bus route schedule.

If your child does not ride the bus please pick them up at 12:55pm.

If the situation warrants it, we will certainly keep all students safely sheltered inside the buildings and ensure everyone remains safe until conditions allow otherwise.

If you happen to be delayed in traffic or by the weather and cannot arrive exactly at 12:55 pm for pickup, students will remain inside their respective buildings - Preschool, Elementary School, and the Main Building - and will be supervised until you arrive safely to pick up your child.

Please drive carefully and do your best to be on time, as we are for everyone’s safety hoping to have the buildings cleared as soon as possible after 12:55 pm.

If bus departures are delayed, we will certainly provide another update promptly.

Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone a safe afternoon and hope you stay safe during the weather.

Kind regards,

School Leadership

A Purr-fect Science Lesson: Karl the Cat Visits Class 6b

On January 22, 2026, after the lunch break, Class 6b went to their science (NaWi) lesson. After a short video and an introduction by Ms. Colopy about the behavior of cats, all students received an information sheet that they were to fill out during the lesson—the topic was the “domestic cat.”
 
Together, the class sat in the foyer of the science building under the staircase and listened attentively as Mattis talked about his tomcat Karl. At the same time, the children filled in their information sheets. Mattis reported that Karl is a cross between a Bengal cat and a domestic cat, that he is very affectionate, a bit greedy, and usually quite relaxed. He also has a rare genetic disease in which his teeth become soft and fall out. We felt very sorry about that. We also learned how to take care of a cat. For example, the litter box has to be cleaned twice a week. Otherwise, a cat basically takes care of itself. It was especially nice that Mattis allowed Karl to be gently passed around so that everyone could pet him.
 
After the presentation, the students were allowed to ask more questions, pet Karl once again, and calmly finish and hand in their information sheets.
 
At the end, Nina, Feli, Lilith, and I were even allowed to hold Karl in our arms. When the lesson was over, a few students stayed behind briefly to say goodbye to Mattis and Karl.
 
This is how a special educational science lesson ended, and everyone went home happy.
