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.
Elementary School Playground
The Elementary School will organize a playground supervisor who will work together with a parent volunteer to supervise the playground. When no parent volunteer is available the playground will be closed to all families. Parents who would like to volunteer for afternoon supervision on the playground will be able to sign up online (Instructions will follow).
Starting at 4:00pm the grounds will be used exclusively by the Extended Care program. Approximately 35 students are usually registered for this program that runs from 3:10pm – 4:45pm. On Early Dismissal days, when there is no afternoon program, the playground will be closed to families because the Extended Care Program begins at 1:30pm.
All students and parents will receive a waiver that needs to be signed in case they want to use the playground in the afternoon during the school year. This ensures that the rules that apply during the school day will also be followed in the afternoon.
Since working together with parents is always a priority for us and we like to accommodate your suggestions we hope that these steps, which are taken in accordance with our school policy, guarantee that every school day ends on a positive note.
Best regards,
Monika Rodrigues
Elementary School Principal
