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

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.
