Ahhh! After two long years, we’ve actually arrived back in Bruck am Zillertal, JFKS’ home away from home every year for two weeks of snow, skiing, schnitzel and song, with a little adolescent misadventure added to the mix.
The bus ride was one of the smoothest in recent memory for a variety of reasons: the absence of traffic jams, surprisingly well-behaved students and…an epic poetry slam/rap battle between bus one and bus two. Despite concern that too few students would embrace the concept, many eagerly embraced the challenge and crafted inspired poems/raps for performance during a raucous autobahn break.
The students were courteous upon arriving at Hotel Eberleiten and pure delights in the dining room, unselfishly passing the French Fries to others before serving themselves, economizing on ketchup and – HA HA! Just kidding! This missive is not a fairy tale, despite my best intentions! (i.e. We’re still working on table manners – a work in progress.) But I, for one, have enjoyed most engaging discussions at the table, on the bus to the slopes or on the Gondola: whether about the delicacies of Iranian dining, training for a triathlon, the ideal number of dinner guests or mutual experiences of skiing in northern Japan. I’m sure my colleagues could say the same.
All we can report about being on the slopes for the first two days is: himmlisch. The weather has been spectacular and the conditions phenomenal. Obviously, that lends to quick improvement on the slopes, particularly for the beginning ranks. One more day of skiing bodes well for more advancement. And then, perhaps at dinner… “Felix, would you kindly pass the Kaiserschmarrn?” “Jacob, allow me to serve you, my good man!” (We can dream.)

Liebe Eltern,
wir haben die Bestätigung erhalten, dass der Senat unsere Ausflüge genehmigt hat! Bitte lesen Sie das Dokument mit dem Titel “Letzte Informationen” für die letzten Details.
Please read the following from the Senat regarding school instruction tomorrow.
“Important notice! Due to the severe weather warning of the German Weather Service, parents and guardians may exempt their children from compulsory attendance tomorrow, Thursday (17.02.2022) and instead keep them at home. An informal written notification to the school is sufficient. This procedure is common in Berlin in the event of severe weather warnings.”
Due to this severe weather warning, we are recommending all students remain home tomorrow for safety reasons. Our campus is surrounded by large trees which could cause potential damage and/or harm. Additionally, public transportation may be interrupted affecting students getting to school and/or home safely.
The school will be open and teachers will be present.
Please be safe and take care,
JFKS Administration

Liebe JFK Familien,
Bitte lesen Sie die Mitteilung des Senats zum morgigen Schulunterricht.
“Wichtiger Hinweis! Aufgrund der Unwetterwarnung des Deutschen Wetterdienstes können Eltern und Sorgeberechtigte am morgigen Donnerstag (17.02.2022) ihre Kinder von der Präsenzpflicht befreien und zu Hause belassen. Eine formlose schriftliche Mitteilung an die Schule genügt. Dieses Verfahren ist in Berlin bei Unwetterwarnungen üblich.”
Aufgrund dieser Unwetterwarnung empfehlen wir allen Schülern, morgen aus Sicherheitsgründen zu Hause zu bleiben. Unser Schulgelände ist von großen Bäumen umgeben, die möglicherweise Schäden verursachen könnten. Außerdem könnte der öffentliche Nahverkehr beeinträchtigt werden, was den sicheren Schul- und/oder Heimweg der Schüler beeinträchtigt.
Wenn Sie ihr Kind zu Hause lassen, senden Sie bitte eine Email an den/die Klassenlehrer/in und an elementaryschool@jfksberlin.org bzw. .
Die Schule wird geöffnet sein und Lehrkräfte werden anwesend sein.
Bitte seien Sie vorsichtig und passen Sie auf sich auf.
