Coronavirus – Important Information
Dear Parents,
In addition to Friday evening’s announcement, we would like to inform you of the option, as communicated by the Ministry of Education, to pick up school supplies—particularly books, workbooks, and binders—from the school. To avoid crowds, we are extending the pickup time window at the Steinmühle campus:
The school buildings will be open from Monday, March 16, through Wednesday, March 18, from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. As we noted on Friday evening: To significantly slow the spread of the coronavirus, it is important that as few students as possible come to school. Children whose parents are not eligible to provide care have the option of attending school. This applies when the children are at an age where they cannot yet stay home alone and when both parents work in jobs that are essential to society, such as healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, pharmacy staff), firefighters, police officers, etc., as children should not be cared for by their grandparents. If you belong to this group, please email me at bjoern.gemmer@steinmuehle.net AND Bernd Holly at bernd.holly@steinmuehle.net by Sunday evening to let us know which student will be coming to school starting Monday to receive care there. Even though teachers are still required to report for duty, this information is important so that we can verify that your daughter or son has arrived at school and know how many lunches to prepare. Additional important information:
- As things stand now, the regular high school graduation exam date will remain unchanged.
- The parent-teacher conferences have been canceled.
- The same applies to all informational events.
The parents of boarding students will receive further information from the boarding school administration. You will certainly receive additional emails from Steinmühle in the near future. In particular, we will try to send your daughters and sons study materials on important school-related topics. To do this, we will either send emails or share information in the relevant groups on the StoneApp.
With warm regards and best wishes for a healthy weekend!
Bernd Holly and Björn Gemmer
