The Sport teachers at TCGIS would like to welcome you and your children to this year's Sport classes. With regard to  your child's safety and well-being in Sport we would like to address the following topics in this Elternbrief:

Appropriate Dress for Sport

Please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for active movement: Pants are best. Skirts or dresses need to be combined with leggings. Sport shoes (no flip-flops or sandals) will enable your child to be able to participate to the fullest extent and are necessary in every Sport lesson. Jewelry should not be worn, except stud earrings, and hair should be tied back so that no one gets hurt.  Also, when the weather gets colder, jackets, snow pants, mittens and brimless hats should complete the outfit.

Please make sure your child's water bottle is packed each day she/he has Sport as we may leave the school premises on several occasions due to this year's circumstances. 

Sport Classes Outside

Now that we have neighborhood-walk permission forms from all students, our Sport classes are being held outside, both on- and off-campus. We have arranged with St. Paul Parks and Rec to use various green spaces around our school. The Sport teachers pick up any necessary medicines for students before every Sport class and return them to the health office at the end of class.  When inclement weather prevents class outdoors, Sport will be held in Room 100 and other classrooms as necessary. 

Thank you very much for making TCGIS a safe place for your child to learn.

Teda Horstmann, Maria Pfaller, Nina Maslofski, Saskia Solberg, Delaney Jacobsen

Please remember to update your child's dismissal plan in the PikMyKid app. If you have problems or need your primary mode changed, please email  [email protected].

As you wait in line to pull into the loading zone (directly in front of our school building) please avoid blocking streets, driveways or alleys along Van Slyke. Students may only exit or enter the car within the loading zone, so please be patient and wait until you're able to pull into that area. Please resist pulling in ahead of someone in the loading zone, even if you see an opening ahead; the entire line will move up once the cars in the zone have finished (un-)loading. Vielen Dank! Thank you! 

Walking Pick-up

The location is now in the school courtyard near the main entrance ( Haupteingang). Please wait for your child(ren) close to the school building, near the ping-pong tables, rather than near the playground, so that you can easily check out your child(ren) from the grade-level teacher who accompanies them out the main doors to the courtyard.

Once the new walkway between the playground and Como Ave is finished, please plan to park along the streets south of our school: Churchill, Oxford, Argyle and Jessamine. Como Ave. should be as open as possible since buses will load and un-load students there.  Vielen Dank! Thank you! 

After school activity registration is now open! Please return the registration form  WITH  payment (cash or check to TCGIS) to the office by  September 19.  Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you've submitted registration materials, there will be no confirmation of enrollment. If we are unable to process your registration due to the class filling up we will contact families on an individual basis. 

If you have any questions about teaching a class next session please email the [email protected] box Attn: Clarissa Herman.
