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.

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.

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.

tiptoi books and pens
Dear Parents,
We have tiptoi books in our Preschool library, which you can borrow anytime (opening hours: Mondays and Thursdays from 1:45pm to 4pm). In order to use these books, you will need to purchase your own special pen called tiptoi pen, because the book it interactive. This pen allows you to activate the different functions of the book. If you don’t have a pen and would like to purchase one, the pens are available at Amazon.de. Amazon is shipping orders to the US.
Tiptoi is an innovative learning system that allows children to discover the world in a playful way. If you tap on a picture or text with the pen, it plays different sounds, words or music. Children can work with it completely independently and receive many suggestions for playing and exploring.
