UPDATE: Earlier Release

<Please scroll down for English version>

Liebe Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte,

aufgrund der aktuellen Wetterwarnung in unserer Region und im Interesse der Sicherheit aller Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Mitarbeitenden beenden wir den Unterricht und das Kindergartenprogramm heute vorzeitig um 12:55 Uhr. Die Schulbusse werden das Schulgelände um 13:05 Uhr verlassen.

Um eine ungefähre Ankunftszeit an Ihrer Haltestelle zu ermitteln, bitten wir Sie, sich an den Zeiten der regulären Busroute zu orientieren.

Wenn Ihr Kind nicht mit dem Bus fährt, holen Sie es bitte um 12:55 Uhr ab.

Sollte sich die Wettersituation so entwickeln, dass es erforderlich ist, werden wir selbstverständlich alle Schülerinnen und Schüler sicher in den Gebäuden behalten und Schutz im Gebäude gewährleisten, bis eine sichere Situation gegeben ist.

Falls Sie aufgrund von Verkehr oder Wetter nicht genau um 12:55 Uhr zur Abholung eintreffen können, werden wir die Kinder weiterhin in den jeweiligen Gebäuden – Preschool, Elementary School und im Hauptgebäude – betreuen und im Gebäude lassen, bis Sie sicher an der Schule angekommen sind, um Ihr Kind abzuholen.

Bitte fahren Sie vorsichtig, versuchen Sie jedoch so zeitnah wie möglich zur Schule zu kommen, da wir bemüht sind, die Gebäude für die Sicherheit aller Beteiligten so bald wie möglich nach 12:55 Uhr zu leeren.

Sollte es zu Verzögerungen bei der Abfahrt der Schulbusse kommen, werden wir Sie selbstverständlich umgehend mit einem weiteren Update informieren.

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis und wünschen Ihnen und Ihrer Familie, dass Sie gut und sicher durch das heutige Wetter kommen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Die Schulleitung

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to the severe weather alert in our region, and in the interest of the safety of all students and staff, classes and the preschool program will end early today at 12:55 pm. School buses will depart campus at 1:05 pm.

To estimate the approximate arrival time at your bus stop, please refer to the times listed on the regular bus route schedule.

If your child does not ride the bus please pick them up at 12:55pm.

If the situation warrants it, we will certainly keep all students safely sheltered inside the buildings and ensure everyone remains safe until conditions allow otherwise.

If you happen to be delayed in traffic or by the weather and cannot arrive exactly at 12:55 pm for pickup, students will remain inside their respective buildings - Preschool, Elementary School, and the Main Building - and will be supervised until you arrive safely to pick up your child.

Please drive carefully and do your best to be on time, as we are for everyone’s safety hoping to have the buildings cleared as soon as possible after 12:55 pm.

If bus departures are delayed, we will certainly provide another update promptly.

Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone a safe afternoon and hope you stay safe during the weather.

Kind regards,

School Leadership

Reminder: Scholarship Application Deadline

Dear Parents, dear School Community at large,

We would like to remind you that you have ten more days – until Friday, March 10, 2017– to apply for the Hugo-and-Herta-Mueller scholarship.

In agreement with the spirit of the foundation—the advancement of the German language and culture—the scholarship will be awarded to students where at least one parent/guardian is not a native German speaker. Students will be selected from the present 4th graders who are transitioning to the Upper School.

The scholarship will automatically extend to grade 9 and will not have to be renewed every school year. The amount of the scholarship award will be equal to 60 % of tuition, as adjusted from year to year. Students whose parents or guardians receive any school support payments from their employers or other sources are not eligible.

The scholarship applicants must show a 2.5 grade point average and demonstrate a better than 3.0 grade point in German language instruction. The scholarship will be withdrawn if the recipient’s grades fall below these averages or in the event that she or he violates the spirit and intentions of the foundation.

By March 10, 2017, parents or guardians of students who qualify are asked to follow these instructions (please click here) for submitting their form VIA EMAIL to stipendium@dswash.org.  Scholarships will be awarded by a jury. All applicants will be notified before March 31, 2017.

 

The jury of five members will take extraordinary care to evaluate and assess all applications to ensure that the process is fair and just and will lead to an undisputed outcome.

 

In the event that the scholarship recipient no longer attends the German School, she/he forfeits the scholarship.

 

Best wishes,

P. Palenzatis, OStD’
Head of School

S. Molineus
Chair of the Board of Directors
