Water Main Break / Wasserrohrbruch
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025
Our school has experienced water damage due to a water main break in the neighborhood. Preschool, SEL, and grades 5–12 are operating as usual.
IMPORTANT: The elementary school building is currently being restored to a usable condition; therefore, we are unfortunately unable to offer regular classes or supervision for grades 1–4.
Please keep your children in grades 1 to 4 at home on Friday, December 5.
The Newbees canceled the Newbees Breakfast.
We are closely monitoring the MCPS decision for Friday in case they announce a delayed start due to the weather.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Die NewBees haben das Newbees-Frühstück abgesagt.
Wir behalten die Entscheidung von MCPS für Freitag im Blick, falls aufgrund des Wetters ein verspäteter Schulbeginn angekündigt wird.

Collective Bargaining Agreement
Dear Members of the German School Society,
The Board of Directors of the German School Washington D.C. together with the Employees’ Association of the German School Washington D.C. (EA) announce with great pleasure the conclusion of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations and the signing of the CBA in June 2016. The new CBA serves as a solid foundation for the employment of represented German School Washington D.C. faculty and staff and will remain in effect until August 31, 2020.
Both the Board of Directors and the Employees’ Association appreciate the constructive manner in which negotiations were conducted, which we believe yielded a positive outcome for all. This is a reflection of the strong collaborative and productive working relationship the Board of Directors and the Employees’ Association have established over the past two years and reaffirms our mutual commitment to the long-term quality and success of the German School Washington D.C. and its students.
Your Board of Directors The Employees’ Association
