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.

Zooming in on Dogs – four-legged friends in 6A during online NaWi class
Pets are the focus of the 6th graders science class. The students of 6A were particularly interested in dogs, one of the oldest and most popular companions of the human. Questions such as “How much Wolf is still in a dog?“ and "How do dogs communicate with each other and with humans?" were answered by the students.
On Friday, September 25, 2020, students of 6A brought their dogs to the science online class and presented them as follows:

Cayenne: Eleni's dog Boston Terrier and Chihuahua mix, 5 years old. What she likes: cheese, meat, LOVES peppers, dog treats, running around outside (gets cocky). What she does not like: water, meeting other dogs (growls and barks). Does not react to squirrels. Listens to Eleni's parents ... usually but sometimes not; is not super smart. |
