Water Main Break
Liebe Familien,
aufgrund einer Unterbrechung einer Hauptwasserversorgungsroute wird die Deutsche Internationale Schule Washington D.C. auf unabsehbare Zeit ohne Wasser sein. Wir haben daher beschlossen, den Unterricht fr眉hzeitig zu beenden und fordern Sie auf, Ihre Kinder ab 12:15 Uhr abzuholen, wenn sie nicht mit unseren Bussen fahren.
Die Busse verlassen die Schule um 12:15 Uhr. Falls Ihre Kinder nicht mit dem Bus fahren sollen, dann melden Sie sich sofort unter 301.767.3801. Ihr Kind wird dann in der Schule betreut, bis Sie sie abholen.
Wenn ein Elternteil mehr als ein Kind abholt, halten Sie bitte Ihren Ausweis sowie eine SMS oder E-Mail der Eltern der abzuholenden Kinder bereit.
Bitte holen Sie Ihre Kinder am Haupteingang des Hauptgeb盲udes ab. Sch眉lerinnen und Sch眉ler, die in der Schule warten m眉ssen, werden von uns beaufsichtigt und betreut, bis Sie kommen, um sie abzuholen. Diese Entscheidung, den Unterricht zu beenden, richtet sich nach den f眉r 枚rtliche Schulen erlassenen Gesundheitsvorschriften.
Wir bedauern den Umstand und werden Sie weiterhin auf dem Laufenden halten.
