A/B/C Rotation for Spring Semester
After experimenting this semester with a new rotation, we have decided to revert back to the traditional A/B/C rotation. For instance, the rotation simply goes A,B,C,A,B one week, the next would start C,A,B,C,A, and so on. You can find the updated calendar on the "Family Resources"
page
of our website here. Please note that the days will no longer match the PTO print calendar. Spring semester starts on January 22nd!

We Have Only 9 Host Families for the 2019-2020 Intern Program So Far
So far we have only
three families who have expressed interest in hosting in the fall semester, and
six who are interested in hosting in spring semester. Next year we hope to have about 14 Interns each semester -
but we can only invite as many Interns as we have host families! We begin making final decisions about next year's Interns this February, so the time to act is now.
If you've ever considered hosting an Intern, but still have questions and would like to learn more about it, please connect with
Katharina Schirg as soon as possible. She can answer questions and also connect you with current and past host families who can share their experiences with you. You can also read these
FAQs about hosting, and learn more about our Intern Program
here. We hope you'll consider volunteering as a host family next school year!

We want to thank all of our fall interns for making TCGIS an even more fun place for kids to learn German. We will miss you, Katrin, Lisa, Aileen, Alba, Katharina, Till, Jannik & Sophia. We also want to thank all of our host families for their hospitality, flexibility and
support. The
intern
program is one of the things that makes TCGIS special and the entire community is grateful to you and
your
family for giving an
intern
an American home. We hope you had a lot of fun and inspiration as well as great cultural experience for
your
entire family.

Staff Appreciation Update:
Thank you to all the parents who have been generously contributing to our intern breakfast and early release lunches!! Our staff is SO grateful for the nourishment! February sign ups will be coming out next week.
Do you have a DSL camera not spare parts/accessories?? We are supporting our yearbook committee this year!
Right now, the committee relies on parents and staff to provide pictures for the yearbook. Just think how much better it could be if we could get a few cameras into the hands of the kids that are right there every day.
You can message the PTO if you have any questions or email
tcgispto@gmail.com.
