On December 1st, the Staff Council (Personalrat) is hosting a staff meeting (Personalversammlung) for all teachers of the centrally managed schools of the Senat. The meeting informs teachers about changes in the school system, benefits, and their rights. All teachers have the right to attend this meeting, and this year a large number of the Elementary school teachers have expressed their desire to attend.  

As a result, we will not be able to offer regular instruction on December 1st. We strongly advise all families to keep their children at home. We will be offering supervision for families who are unable to provide care for their child/ren at home. However, please know that this will not be a regular day of instruction.

With the large increase in Covid cases in recent weeks, the mixing of children from different classes for the entire day is not optimal even if the basic hygiene rules are followed. Unfortunately, it is the only option we will have given the staffing shortages.

Please complete this brief survey by Wednesday, November 24 so that we can appropriately plan for the supervision needs of those children that need to come to school.
