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.

The Shakespeare Theater Company and the German International School Washington D.C.
Mr. Simon Godwin, Artistic Director at The Shakespeare Company, accepted Ms. Cropsey's invitation to meet her seventh- and eighth-graders who are reading Shakespeare's plays The Twelfth Night and Macbeth. On Monday, March 22, Mr. Godwin spoke about the ways directors are " reading" Shakespeare's plays, and answered students' questions. It was a vivid and friendly atmosphere! And it was a true honor to meet Mr. Godwin!
