Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year and welcome back! 2025!
We had our first school council meeting of 2025 on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Thank you for all the parents who attended.
The German Bilingual Program Monitoring Parent Survey was sent out to all German bilingual parents on Tuesday morning. Please take 3 minutes to complete it! Staff and grade 3-6 students of the German program will also complete the survey. Thank you to the 33 German families who have already filled out the survey! Danke!
German Open House is on January 23, 2025 from 6:00 to 7:00PM. Please tell your friends! We do NOT have a lottery system at this point of time. Our Open House signs have been put up all over the NW and SW. I would very much appreciate it, if you could send me a quick email if you see a sign! If you mention its location, that would be even more helpful! Thank you in advance. I’m asking this of all our parents, not just the German ones as I would like to know which signs are seen the most.
Registration for NEXT YEAR kindergarten starts on Monday, January 13, 2025. If your child is born between September 2019 and August 2020, they are able to register for kindergarten on the CBE website.
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
