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.

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.

Invitation to visit our Preschool Library
Are you looking for a particular children's book title? Would you like to read something new with your child or find a particular children's author? Come by and take a look at our preschool library. The library is located in a cozy corner of the big school library in the main building. We have children's books available by many well-known authors like Astrid Lindgren, Eric Carle, Leo Leonni and many more. The Preschool library is open for you Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:35 - 3.15pm.
All books are in easy reach for children who like to get their little hands on a book. Please bring your children and look through the books at our comfortable book-reading table, take some home, or just come by and browse through the shelves.
The goal of the Preschool library is to spark in our children the joy of looking at books and to foster the development of the German language.
An important part of language development takes place between the ages of 1 through 4. That is why it is so important for children to look at these books, hear the stories and especially talk about the contents of a book with a grown up or other children.
We look forward to seeing you at the Preschool library!
