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.
Parents' Council: Call for Donations
Dear Parents, dear Teachers, dear Employees – dear School Community!
We have arrived at the third week of the Annual Giving Campaign. Until today, 20% of our school community have participated and have donated money.
What is our goal?
100% participation!!!
Why is a 100 % participation so important?
Corporate sponsors of the DSW are very interested in this number. They compare our participation rate with that of other private schools. This number is used as an indicator of the support by the school community for their school. If the number is low, it raises one question for the sponsors: Why shall we support this school financially if the school community does not do so?
Please consider: IT MATTERS MOST THAT YOU PARTICIPATE - ANY AMOUNT YOU CONTRIBUTE IS APPRECIATED!
Thus, our plea and our call to you:
Be in! If you have not had the chance yet to make a donation, please do it during this week!
It is easy to make a donation:
- Please make your donation online! http://www.dswashington.org/annual-fund-de.html or
- Please leave your check at the reception of the school!
The Parents’ Council thanks you all for your support of the DSW!
Cordi Everett
Chair of the Parents’ Council
