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.
May 6, 2022: Opening of Art Exhibit
Dear Parents of GISW Art Students,
The Art Department is planning its fifth annual upper school art show (5th – 12th grades) on Friday, May 6, 2022 from 6 PM to 8 PM. Student-made artwork will be displayed, and we would love to see you there with your child!
Your children have invested much time and effort creating these beautiful works of art. We will celebrate their achievements by creating a traditional art opening atmosphere. Therefore, we are asking all attendees to contribute finger food (one item per family) to share at the event. Cheese and crackers, cookies, veggies and dip, or a fruit platter are all possibilities. Drinks will be provided.
Please have your child bring his or her food contribution to school on Friday, May 6th. We will have access to a refrigerator. Please label all containers and serving plates with your child’s first and last name so they may be easily returned.
We look forward to seeing you on the 6th. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Alexandra Cheshire
Annette Schauss
GISW Art Department
