Message from the Sport Teachers
This message is a clarification from the sport teachers in regards to what is expected for the students here to wear during sport classes.
-
Students should have appropriate gym shoes (shoes that they do not wear outdoors)
-
It is not required, however it is preferable, on days that your child has sport, that they wear clothing that allows them to participate actively in class (they should be able to move freely; for Middle School dresses are not advised for sport classes)
-
Students with hair that is longer than shoulder-length are asked to tie up their hair
With these safety reminders, we hope to live up to one of the school's PBIS expectations and philosophies of
Sicherheit (safety).
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Mullins at mmullins@tcgis.org.

Seeking Intern Host Families for 2019-2020 School Year
The Intern Program brings enthusiastic and engaging native German-speakers into our classrooms. Our students reap great benefits from these additional caring adults who support their learning in so many ways. Next year we hope to have between 20-25 Interns spread across the fall and spring semesters -
but we can only invite as many Interns as we have host families!
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. We begin making final decisions about Interns for next year in 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!
