Schulfest all-school barbeque
In the past, we have held a mandatory PTA meeting in the Fall, but this is no longer required by our new by-laws. Instead, we will be holding a new event in the Fall, inviting students and families from both locations to attend a barbeque to celebrate the start of the school year.
A school update will be presented by the Board of Trustees at this event, with the opportunity to ask questions. This school kickoff barbeque will be held at a central location on a weekend shortly after the start of classes. More information will be sent out as it becomes available, and we hope to see you there!
To maximize attendence, please fill out the questions below regarding the dates that would work fo you.
T-shirt Order
To avoid stocking too many or too few of particular t-shirt sizes, we will place a bulk order of our school t-shirts based on the number needed by our students and their families. This is due to the rising cost of t-shirts. The price will be $25 per t-shirt, and distribution will take place after school starts, or after the order arrives from our supplier, whichever comes last.

Many classes carry the textbook over from one year to the next, but for those classes which require a new textbook, you may either purchase your books yourself (links are available on the website here: https://www.germanschoolcle.org/books/ ), or join a group order through school, which will be placed when school begins in the Fall, once we know how many students need which books. Payment for those joining the group order will be due when the books arrive. Depending on prevailing source pricing, we expect a set of books to cost approximately $50. The books should arrive by the third day of school, and students without books can work off copies until then.
Please note you can enter any dollar amount in the field below.
