We look forward to seeing all students return to campus tomorrow (Friday) for a regular day of instruction. 

Wir freuen uns, alle Schülerinnen und Schüler morgen (Freitag) zu einem regulären Unterrichtstag wieder auf dem Campus begrüßen zu dürfen.

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. 

If your child is staying home, please send an email to the homeroom teacher and elementaryschool@jfksberlin.org or .

The school will be open and teachers will be present. 

Please be safe and take care, 

JFKS Administration

Fire Incident at JFKS

Dear Parents, 

Today at 12:15 we detected smoke near the Aula in the Elementary school. We immediately made an announcement alerting our students and staff. The Elementary and High School buildings were quickly evacuated. The fire department and police arrived within minutes. 

The fire was detected and extinguished in the basement. We are happy to report that all students and staff were safe and had no injuries. No damage was found in classrooms or student accessible areas. 

Our teachers safely escorted students off campus following our fire evacuation procedures. Our Administration, Hausmeister and building staff quickly responded to the emergency, ensuring everyone’s safety. 

We appreciate our students‘ calm response to the situation. Please let your children know that their behavior helped us address this emergency efficiently. 

We wish each of you a wonderful weekend.

Brandvorfall an der JFKS

Liebe Eltern, 

heute um 12:15 Uhr haben wir Rauch in der Nähe der Aula der Grundschule entdeckt. Wir haben sofort alle Schüler und Mitarbeiter alarmiert. Die Gebäude der Grund- und Oberschule wurden schnell evakuiert. Die Feuerwehr und die Polizei waren innerhalb weniger Minuten vor Ort. 

Das Feuer wurde im Keller entdeckt und gelöscht. Wir freuen uns, berichten zu können, dass alle Schüler und Mitarbeiter in Sicherheit sind und keine Verletzungen erlitten haben. In den Klassenzimmern und den für Schüler zugänglichen Bereichen wurden keine Schäden festgestellt. 

Unsere Lehrer begleiteten die Schüler sicher vom Schulgelände und befolgten dabei unsere Evakuierungsmaßnahmen. Unsere Schulleitung, die Hausmeister und Mitarbeiter  reagierten schnell auf diesen Notfall und sorgten für die Sicherheit aller. 

Wir schätzen die ruhige Reaktion unserer Schüler auf die Situation. Bitte lassen Sie Ihre Kinder wissen, dass ihr Verhalten uns geholfen hat, diese Notfallsituation effizient zu bewältigen. 

Wir wünschen Ihnen allen ein schönes Wochenende.
