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.

What are the benefits of a bilingual education? We have the answer!
The German School Washington D.C. is a co-educational private school which provides students with a unique international perspective by combining the best of both U.S. and German academic education. We teach students from over 20 different countries side by side and give them the opportunity to earn a High School Diploma and the German International Abitur. For children age 2 through 12th grade, our school creates a unique, multicultural and multilingual experience within a warm and nurturing environment. Knowledge of German is not required for admission to our pre-K and Kindergarten programs. Your child will be prepared for life beyond standardized tests.
