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

Building Our School Garden

We had a terrific turnout on Saturday, April 29th for our Earth Day Event where members of our GISW community, including school leadership, teachers, administrative staff, parents, students, and friends, volunteered their time and hard work to help construct two new raised garden beds behind the elementary school.  The 8’ x 12’ cedar garden beds with deer fencing and irrigation system are part of the new school garden project being funded by the 60th Legacy Campaign.  The project aims not only to enhance our school’s Green Space but also to connect our students with their natural environment and expose them to the joys of gardening.  Students will have the opportunity to learn to how to grow and care for different vegetables and herbs as part of the curriculum as well as the after-school programs.   

In addition to many hours of hard work performed by volunteers in building the raised garden beds, planting vegetable and herbs, and weeding the pollinator garden, folks enjoyed a variety of fun activities to celebrate Earth Day.  Attendees had the opportunity to make seed balls with native pollinator seeds, paint rocks for the garden, and play a variety of games organized by students from the Fuf4Future AG.   

Special thanks go out to all our staff, students, and volunteers who organized and helped with the event as well as the FRIENDS and SEBR who provided participants with a fabulous lunch!  Also, to all who contributed to the Green Space of the 60th Legacy Campaign, who made this project possible. Please come visit the new garden located directly behind the elementary school and see what our kids are growing!  If you are interested in further supporting projects in the Green Space, please consider making an online donation to the 60th Legacy Campaign, which will run through the end of June 2023.
