Our basketball boys WK II team (players born between 1997 and 2000) has won the Vattenfall School Cup and became Berlin Champions! The Final Four tournament at the Sömmeringhalle in Charlottenburg was a big event with the attendance of TV and Radio stations, the Berliner Zeitung newspaper, and the ALBA Dance Team. The Rams defeated the Schadow-Schule with 37:10 in the semi-final and won the Championship game with 53:27 against the Barnim-Schule.

EIGHT AIRLIFT VETERAN PILOTS AT JFKS TO CELEBRATE THE 65th ANNIVERSARY OF THE AIRLIFT

On Tuesday, 13 May,  the airlift veterans visited the JFKS and had the opportunity to tell their story to the students in different ES classes. The pilots are between 85 and 93 years old now. We certainly hope it was not their last visit. 
The students were very interested and spoke long with the veterans.  This did not stop at the reception in the library later on. Also some of the „children“ during the AIRLIFT were present too. Also they spoke about their experiences. 
It was a very moving encounter.

10th Grade Open Campus

Beginning June 2, 2014, JFKS tenth graders who do not have instruction and who are in possession of a completed JFKS permission slip will have the privilege of leaving campus during period six (lunch) and the twenty minute break (13:05 – 13:25) .

The parental [icon name=“icon-arrow-right“] permission slip and student agreement must be completed, signed by the student’s homeroom teacher and must be in the student’s possession when leaving campus.

In the unfortunate event of misconduct, either on or off campus, the student may receive a misconduct report, a class conference, and/or the loss of this privilege.

Permission slips will be available for download on the school website (as well as on Google Drive via “jfks.me” our student domain)   as of Tuesday, May 13th.

Students may use either the German or English version as a ½ sheet.

We believe in our students and expect they will responsibly use and enjoy this privilege.

Ab dem 2. Juni 2014 dürfen SchülerInnen der 10. Klassenstufe, die keinen Unterricht haben und im Besitz der schriftlichen Erlaubnis sind, in der 6. Stunde (Mittagspause) und der Pause danach (13:05 – 13:25) das Schulgelände verlassen.

Die [icon name=“icon-arrow-right“] Einverständniserklärung des Schülers / der Schülerin und der Eltern müssen vollständig ausgefüllt und unterschrieben und vom Klassenlehrer / der Klassenlehrerin gegengezeichnet sein. SchülerInnen müssen beim Verlassen des Schulgeländes im Besitz dieses Erlaubnisschreibens sein.

Im Falle von Missbrauch und anderem Fehlverhalten – sowohl auf dem Schulgelände als auch außerhalb des Schulgeländes –  können SchülerInnen einen Misconduct Report erhalten, der in eine Klassenkonferenz und in den Entzug dieser Erlaubnis münden kann.

Das Formular kann auf der Schulhomepage und auf Google Drive unter „jfks.me“, ab Dienstag, den 13. Mai heruntergeladen werden.

SchülerInnen dürfen die englische oder die deutsche Version (die andere Hälfte abschneiden) bei sich führen.

Wir glauben an unsere SchülerInnen und hoffen, dass sie dieses Privileg mit Verantwortung nutzen und genießen werden.
