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.
SES 2 Art Fundraiser
In connection with the art weeks, the SES2 class started a community project. We painted Paul Klee's picture - Castle and Sun - in many small sections. Each student painted one or two pictures which were joined together to create the final image. It is beautiful and unique. The artwork is being auctioned to raise funds for the organization L'Arche, an inclusive community of people with and without intellectual disabilities. The organization was founded in 1964 by Canadian Jean Vanier and Frenchmen Philippe Seux and Raphaël Simi, two men with intellectual disabilities, in Trosly-Breuil, a village 80 kilometers north of Paris. These types of living arrangements now exist in many places around the world, including here in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Please lend your support to the budding artists in SES2 by placing a bid on their colorful masterpiece.
