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.

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.
Elementary School: New Lunch Break Schedule
On Tuesday, October 4th 2016, we implemented a new plan at the Elementary School for the lunch break and recess that takes place from 11.25am – 12:00pm. Grades SES-4 usually all eat at the same time and play outside following lunch. We have decided to divide the aforementioned time period up so that the SEL and 1st grades eat first, while grades 2-4 are playing outside. Starting at 11:40am the groups then switch so that the SEL and 1st grades go to recess while the remaining grades eat. By making this change, we hope to improve several factors: The students will have a shorter waiting line in the cafeteria and are thus able to start eating sooner, they will have a quieter environment to eat in, and their recess outside is less crowded. We will evaluate this change in early November at the Elementary School Staff Meeting and will make adjustments as necessary. We are optimistic that this change will be well received by students, parents, and staff alike!
