UPDATE: Earlier Release

<Please scroll down for English version>

Liebe Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte,

aufgrund der aktuellen Wetterwarnung in unserer Region und im Interesse der Sicherheit aller Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Mitarbeitenden beenden wir den Unterricht und das Kindergartenprogramm heute vorzeitig um 12:55 Uhr. Die Schulbusse werden das Schulgelände um 13:05 Uhr verlassen.

Um eine ungefähre Ankunftszeit an Ihrer Haltestelle zu ermitteln, bitten wir Sie, sich an den Zeiten der regulären Busroute zu orientieren.

Wenn Ihr Kind nicht mit dem Bus fährt, holen Sie es bitte um 12:55 Uhr ab.

Sollte sich die Wettersituation so entwickeln, dass es erforderlich ist, werden wir selbstverständlich alle Schülerinnen und Schüler sicher in den Gebäuden behalten und Schutz im Gebäude gewährleisten, bis eine sichere Situation gegeben ist.

Falls Sie aufgrund von Verkehr oder Wetter nicht genau um 12:55 Uhr zur Abholung eintreffen können, werden wir die Kinder weiterhin in den jeweiligen Gebäuden – Preschool, Elementary School und im Hauptgebäude – betreuen und im Gebäude lassen, bis Sie sicher an der Schule angekommen sind, um Ihr Kind abzuholen.

Bitte fahren Sie vorsichtig, versuchen Sie jedoch so zeitnah wie möglich zur Schule zu kommen, da wir bemüht sind, die Gebäude für die Sicherheit aller Beteiligten so bald wie möglich nach 12:55 Uhr zu leeren.

Sollte es zu Verzögerungen bei der Abfahrt der Schulbusse kommen, werden wir Sie selbstverständlich umgehend mit einem weiteren Update informieren.

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis und wünschen Ihnen und Ihrer Familie, dass Sie gut und sicher durch das heutige Wetter kommen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Die Schulleitung

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to the severe weather alert in our region, and in the interest of the safety of all students and staff, classes and the preschool program will end early today at 12:55 pm. School buses will depart campus at 1:05 pm.

To estimate the approximate arrival time at your bus stop, please refer to the times listed on the regular bus route schedule.

If your child does not ride the bus please pick them up at 12:55pm.

If the situation warrants it, we will certainly keep all students safely sheltered inside the buildings and ensure everyone remains safe until conditions allow otherwise.

If you happen to be delayed in traffic or by the weather and cannot arrive exactly at 12:55 pm for pickup, students will remain inside their respective buildings - Preschool, Elementary School, and the Main Building - and will be supervised until you arrive safely to pick up your child.

Please drive carefully and do your best to be on time, as we are for everyone’s safety hoping to have the buildings cleared as soon as possible after 12:55 pm.

If bus departures are delayed, we will certainly provide another update promptly.

Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone a safe afternoon and hope you stay safe during the weather.

Kind regards,

School Leadership

Invitation: St. Martin’s Procession

To all parents of the Preschool, Elementary School (School Entry Level through 4th grade), and the German Language Courses (GLC) 

November 2, 2016

St. Martin’s procession on November 11, 2016

Dear parents,

As in past years, the Elementary School is once again organizing the traditional St. Martin’s Procession.
 

This year the St. Martin’s Procession is going to take place on November 11th. Please bring your lanterns. Many Preschoolers and Elementary School students have already crafted. The children are very much looking forward to the procession and we hope you can join us with friends and family.

We will meet in front of the Elementary School at 5:15pm.

Following our tradition,  we will start out by singing St. Martins’ songs during our walk and then listen to a  reading of the St. Martin’s legend.

After the procession, all children will receive a „Weckmann“, a traditional German pastry. The „Weckmänner“ will be handed out at various locations in front of the Elementary School. Once again, the „Friends of the German School“ are donating the „Weckmänner“. Thank you! Hot and cold beverages for children and adults will also be on sale. To ensure that this wonderful event will be once again a great success, we need you cooperation with respect to the course of events and a few rules.

The procession will move via the parking lot and behind the Elementary School to the Elementary School’s soccer field.  Here, the St. Martin’s play will take place. We will be walking in the dark and the path will lead down a couple of steps, therefore we advise against bringing strollers.

Parents are responsible for their children during the entire event. All teachers of the Elementary School will be present, but have been assigned various organizational responsibilities. All outside stairs and stairs between buildings will be closed off with yellow tape and access will be prohibited. Please make sure your children are following these rules. Thank you very much!

Please remember that all cars have to be parked on the school's parking lot. Make sure to arrive on time since the parking lot will be closed during the procession for safety reasons. Parking on Kentsdale Drive or Chateau Drive, even on the grassy areas in front of the school, is not permitted.

We hope that all participants will enjoy a festive evening.

Sincerely

Monika Rodrigues

ES Principal
