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.

Dear School Community,
Since we did not get a chance to see you all at our traditional NEWBEES Breakfast @ School, we would like to shout out to all the NEWBEES of this school year: NEWBEES NO MORE!
We are looking forward to seeing you and welcoming the NEWBEES of the upcoming school year in August 2020 – in whatever way, shape and form it will be possible! The NEWBEES Team is working on different options right now and will share more details hopefully during the summer break.
In the meantime, we kindly ask you
- To sign up as a Partner-Family: find out what a Partner-Family does and how to become one,
- To spread the word about the NEWBEES: if you meet a New-Family at our school who has not yet heard about the NEWBEES, please tell them to sign up for a Partner-Family or to contact us with any question by email: newbees@giswashington.org
- To let us know if you have any suggestions for us to improve our initiative.
Have a wonderful summer, stay healthy and in good spirits until we see each other again!
Your NEWBEES Team
