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.
February 12, 2018: Carnival at the E.S.
The Elementary School at the German International School Washington D.C. celebrates Carnival (Fasching)
On Monday, February 12, 2018, we will celebrate Carnival (Fasching) with our Elementary School students. All children from the School Entry Level through 4th Grade will change into their costume after the 2nd period.
We look forward to many original and interesting costumes. However, we would like to urge you to keep all costume accessories that are not essential to the costume at home. In particular we are referring to weapons, swords, and masks.
A musical parade through the main school will lead us to the gym. At 10:30 a.m. we will enjoy the shows „The Three Little Pigs“ and „The Three Billy Goats Gruff“ by KayDee Puppets.
After lunch all students will change back into their regular clothes.
All that is left to say is „Alaaf“ or „Helau“!
