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.
Preschool Library Accepting Book Donations
Dear School Community!
The Preschool library of the German School would be delighted to accept donations of used German children’s books, CDs or DVDs. If you have books at home that you may not need anymore because your children have outgrown them, we would gladly take them. We need German books for 2-5-year old children.
Visiting the library with all of our 140 preschoolers has been a part of our program for many years, and the children really enjoy being able to take German library materials home. By now, they each have their own ideas as to what topics they are interested in and whether they want books, DVDs, or CDs. The books of the library have become an important part for the development of good language skills in the life of our preschool children.
Due to the frequent use of all the library materials, we are always in need of donations and replacements. We would be very grateful to you, if you would support our library through your book donations. The books can be given to Mrs. Voss, the preschool librarian, who also works in the Seahorse group.
Donated books that cannot be used for the library will be sold on May 12th, 2017 at our planned book flea market at the Preschool. All proceeds will benefit the children’s library directly and new books will be bought.
Sincerely,
Martina Voss / Preschool Librarian
