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.
Spelling Bee - GISW winner moving on to regional level
Congratulations to Luli for winning our GISW Spelling Bee!! Let’s all support her as she moves on representing our school as a contestant at the Regional Spelling Bee for Montgomery County this coming Saturday, March 7, 2020 at 10am at Bullis School (Blair Family Center for the Arts), 10601 Falls Road in Potomac.
We would love to have as many GISW supporters as possible attend the event. As you prepare please keep in mind that the Howard Auditorium of the Blair Family Center for the Arts must remain absolutely silent during the Bee. The winner of the Montgomery County Regional Spelling Bee will then advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. We are all crossing our fingers for you, Luli!
