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.

Aufgrund eines Wasserrohrbruchs in der Nachbarschaft ist es zu einem Wasserschaden an unserer Schule gekommen ist. Der Kidnergarten, SES sowie die Klassen 5–12 haben regulären Unterricht.
WICHTIG: Das Grundschulgebäude wird derzeit in einen nutzbaren Zustand gebracht, daher können wir für die Klassen 1–4 leider keinen regulären Unterricht und auch keine Betreuung anbieten.
Bitte behalten Sie Ihre Kinder der Klassen 1 bis 4 am Freitag, den 5. Dezember zu Hause.
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.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Unterstützung.
Distance Learning
The East Coast is experiencing severe internet issues which affect internet connectivity as well as specific apps that are used for people working at home and in distance learning, such as Zoom and Seesaw.
Unfortunately, this wider issues also affects our distance learning program.
We ask all students to check if they have received messages via email, teams or seesaw. If not, please use the time wisely to continue your studies. Thank you for the flexible and good cooperation!
We all hope for a soon recovery of these technical issues long the entire East Coast. Find more details about this for example in this article in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/26/internet-outage-east-coast/
Let’s make the best of this unforeseen situation.
Best regards,
Marc Aurel Löckmann
Acting Head of School
