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.
E-Bike Discount for GISW School Community
Are you or your family in the market for a new bicycle?
Have you considered clean energy commuting as an option to reduce carbon emissions and improve your health? E-bikes are efficient and sustainable modes of transportation that make an important contribution to protecting the climate. Last fall, GISW invited the German electric bike company Riese & Müller to showcase some of their e-bikes and cargo-bikes at our Oktoberfest. A special Riese & Müller E-bike promotion has been extended to members of our GISW school community interested in exploring innovative mobility options for the environmentally-conscious. Check out the following promotional offer.

We at Terrapin Bicycles were so pleased to be invited to last fall’s Oktoberfest and enjoyed the hospitality offered by the German International School family. To further the Riese & Müller relationship with the school, we want to extend some discounts on R&M bicycles!
Riese & Müller is based out of Darmstadt, Germany and produces the highest quality e-bikes available. A significant portion of the components are from German brands as well. The company also puts a huge emphasis on sustainability. Their vision is to be the most sustainable E-Bike company by 2025.
We recently acquired a selection of bikes that span the range of R&M's offerings and we have them on sale at 20-40% off. For members of the GISW school community, we will add an additional 5% to that discount, while this supply lasts. The bikes are viewable on our website at: https://www.terrapinbicycles.com/articles/riese-mller-bikes-terrapin-bicycles-sale-pg212.htm
In addition to those bikes, R&M has a supply of Packster70 models offered at 30% off, which we will also add an extra 5% to the discount for GISW. Reach out to us for more information on available specifications and pricing. Model information: https://www.r-m.de/en-us/bikes/packster-70/
Lastly, we will also offer an ongoing discount for new R&M bike orders of 8% off MSRP. We will honor this discount through June 30, 2024.
