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.

Dear Families,

Due to a water main break the 海角原创 will be without water for the foreseeable future. We have decided to end classes early and request that you pick up your children starting 12:15 pm, if they are not bus riders.

The buses leave the school at 12:15 pm. If you don鈥檛 want your bus rider to take the bus today, report them immediately to 301.767.3800. Your child will then be looked after at school until you pick them up.

If one parent picks up more than one child, please be prepared to show your ID and a text message or email from the parents of the children being picked up.

Please pick up your children at the main entrance of the main building. Students who have to wait at school we will supervised and cared for until you come to pick them up. This school closing decision is congruent with health ordinances established for local schools.

We regret the circumstance and please stay tuned for further messages.
