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.
"SE-Day" School Development Day - Awards
On May 27, 2021, the Steering Committee organized the School Development Day or "SE Day" for the first time. This day, which will be held annually from now on, is intended to illustrate the work of the steering Committee to the school community. Our fourth- to eleventh-graders creatively explained and illustrated different aspects of school development in a video-and-poster competition with 87 wonderful entries, such as Binnendifferenzierung, Media in the Classroom, Coaching and Challenging programs (FuF), German as a Second Language (DaZ), and German in other subject instruction (DFU).
SE Day began with activities in the preschool and a picnic at lunch for the entire student body.
We are grateful to the Friends who generously provided us all with ice cream on this hot day and the winners were announced to the school community in a Zoom event in the evening. It was a very active and fun day all around!
