GISNY eNewsletter | Sept. 16, 2020 Upcoming Events and Announcements
We are very happy to be back at school! A big thank you to all students, parents, faculty, and staff for making this possible! Founded in 1980, GISNY is celebrating its 40th anniversary of academic excellence on September 23, 2020
Pre-K and ES Applications for September 2021 now being accepted! If you are a current GISNY family and plan on enrolling a sibling in Pre-K and/or ES beginning in September 2021, we urge you to begin the application process now. These grades tend to fill up quickly and we want to make sure that your child can start in our early childhood programs.
Pre-K und ES Bewerbungen für September 2021 haben begonnen! Wenn Sie eine aktuelle GISNY Familie sind und vorhaben, ein jüngeres Kind für unser Pre-K und/oder Eingangsstufen Programm für September 2021 anzumelden, bitten wir Sie, bei nächster Gelegenheit den Aufnahmeprozess vorzunehmen. Diese Klassen tendieren immer sehr schnell dazu, voll zu werden. Wir wollen sicher gehen, dass Ihre Kinder bei uns anfangen können.
Fortbildungstag | 25. September 2020
Wir haben als Schulgemeinde diese ersten Wochen gut gemeistert. Dennoch tauchen natürlich im Alltag immer wieder Fragen auf, auf die wir als Kollegium gemeinsam gute Antworten finden müssen. Dazu haben wir für Freitag, den 25. September einen Fortbildungstag geplant, an dem wir all diese Fragen besprechen können. Auch werden wir weitere Fortbildungen für unsere Lehrerinnen und Lehrer durchführen. Aus diesem Grund findet an diesem Tag kein Unterricht statt. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler werden jedoch von ihren Lehrerinnen und Lehrern mit Aufgaben versorgt.
Ich danke Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis.
Faculty Development Day | Sept. 25, 2020
We as a school community have coped well these first weeks. Nevertheless, questions still arise regarding school life to which we, the faculty and administration, must meet to find the best answers. For this purpose, we have planned a faculty development day for Friday, September 25th, where we can discuss all these questions. We will also continue with training for our teachers. For this reason, there will be no classes on this day, however, students will receive assignments from their teachers.
We thank you in advance for your understanding in this matter.

Parents' Wine & Cheese Evening CANCELLED on Thursday, Sept. 17th Please note that due to Parents' Night, Thursday's Wine & Cheese Evening via Zoom will not take place.
Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures Our drop-off and pick-up procedures are working well. We would however like to remind you to pick-up your child at the designated time, otherwise, it causes problems in the pick-up area. Please note the correct pick-up times below:
Please also remember to follow the painted lines for drop-off and pick-up and move as far forward as traffic allows.
Update from our School Library The library requests parents send an email to the library (library@gisny.org) if your child needs new school supplies. Students may come individually to the library to pick them up, preferably with the correct amount of money. The price for each item can be found on the GISNY Library's webpage (https://www.gisny.org/school-life/library). At the moment, we are out of pens/Füller, geometry triangles/Geodreiecke, and ink remover/Tintenkiller, but we do have limited notebooks/Hefte and plenty of ink cartridges/Patronen. Because we have a limited supply, notebooks/Hefte are restricted to 2 per student. We are in the process of placing a new order and will hopefully have more in stock soon.
The library is also hard at work, updating the school to a new circulation system. This system will be completely online, and we will be releasing the details for it next week. We are just as eager to get your children reading as you are, but as you can imagine, there is a lot that goes into turning an entire system online! We are so very appreciative of your patience, and look forward to all the reading our students will do.
Lunch Survey This year's lunch program is very different from previous year. Even though the school cannot offer the usual choices in the Cafeteria, Chef Paul and the kitchen staff are doing their very best to supply around 480 hungry people with lunch every day. After several modifications this is working vey well by now. Please follow the link below and fill out the Lunch Survey to rate the service and help Chef Paul tailor the offerings better to your or the students' needs.
Instructions: Parents can fill out the survey for their Pre-K & Lower School students or as parents. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Mittagessen Umfrage Das Schulessen ist in diesem Jahr deutlich anders als in den vergangenen Jahren. Doch obwohl die Schule zur Zeit leider nicht die gewohnte Auswahl in der Cafeteria anbieten kann, geben Chef Paul und sein Küchenteam ihr Bestes um ca. 480 hungrige Menschen jeden Tag zu versorgen. Nach ein paar Anpassungen funktioniert das System mittlerweile sehr gut. Folgen Sie bitte dem Link weiter unten um die Umfrage zum Mittagessen auszufüllen und Chef Paul zu helfen das Angebot noch besser an Ihre Bedürfnisse und die der Schüler anzupassen.
Anleitung: Eltern können den Fragebogen für ihre Pre-K & Grundschulkinder oder als Eltern ausfüllen.
