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.

5k Oktoberfest Run & Fun Run

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS, PARTICIPANTS AND SPONSORS!

It was a beautiful morning in Potomac as hundreds of runners and walkers of all ages took to the streets in support of the German School Washington D.C. and the German Language School! Thank you to all the participants of our 5k Oktoberfest Run & Fun Run 2014. We hope you had fun!

We were thrilled with the turnout for our 3rd annual 5k Oktoberfest Run & Fun Run that brought together 408 5k runners and over 55 Fun Run champions. Our goal was to produce a healthy community event while promoting the German culture and language. With generous sponsors, countless in-kind donations and close to 100 caring volunteers, we believe we achieved that goal.

Proceeds from the 5k Oktoberfest Run & Fun Run 2014 benefit the German School and German Language School and will be used to purchase new technical event equipment for school performances.

To all the amazing, fabulous and hardworking volunteers that helped us organize and run Saturday’s event, please accept our deepest gratitude for the generous gift of your time. Your support was critical to the success of this event. You are the best!

Complete race results are posted online including overall race results,age group results and team results. Congratulations to all who participated! In our opinion, you are all winners.
