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.
Informational Event for Parents of our Fourth Graders
Dear parents,
We are in the midst of planning the school year 2018/19, when your child will enter grade 5.
At the German International School Washington D.C., our students graduate with the U.S. High School Diploma as well as the German International Abitur, called DIA. For a degree after tenth grade, we also offer the curriculum of the Intermediate Secondary School (Realschule). We would like to provide you with information about the educational possibilities at our school during a special meeting for parents of children currently in 4th grade.
Another topic will be the transition from Elementary School to 5th grade and how you can support your child during that time. All fifth grade teachers will present the curricula of their subjects.
We look forward to seeing you on:
Thursday, February 1, 2018
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm in room 212 (main school building, 2nd floor)
With best regards,
Antje Linnenbrink
Koordinatorin der Sekundarstufe I
Coordinator of Grades 5-9
