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.
Participation in MINT-EC Camps
GISW students participate in MINT EC camps for the first time
We made it! Since our school is now affiliated with MINT-EC, we can take advantage of the exciting benefits the network has to offer, one of them being participation in MINT-EC Camps. These scientific internships take place over four to five days at renowned German universities.
On May 6, 2019, for the first time, two of our students flew to Germany, full of anticipation.
Sebastian S. (10a) went to Aachen to the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule. With more than 45,000 students, it is the largest university for studies in engineering in Germany. He attended a camp on "Sustainability in Resource Engineering - The Path from Extraction to Recycling".
Ann-July E. (10a) participated in a molecular biology camp which took place in the student laboratory of the Heisenberg-Gymnasium as well as the educational lab of the Bayer AG in Dortmund.

Both will report on their interesting experiences at the GISW lecture series on June 12th. |
In addition to gaining new knowledge and building connections through the network-related exchange, participation in MINT camps assists students interested in acquiring the MINT-EC certificate which we are authorized to issue to qualified high school graduates, starting this school year.
