Walk to School
Dear parents,
Every year September 22nd is “Walk to School“ day, not only in Germany but worldwide. On this day, children are encouraged to move – to come to school on foot, by bike or by scooter. We want to participate in this event again this year.
The action days “Walk to School” take place from:
17.9.2018 until 28.9.2018
During this period, everybody at Charles Dickens Primary School should refrain from using the car from Flatowallee, so that Dickensweg becomes a “car-free zone” for this period. It would be nice if everyone again took part in it and actively supported this action by deliberately avoiding using the car for the final meters to the school gate.
National Youth Games 2018-2019
Dear Parents,
For this year the National Youth Games for Years 4-6 will take place on Friday, 28th September 2018.
The children will meet in their classrooms at 8am and then walk, supervised by staff members, to Hanns-Braun-Stadium in the Olympic Grounds. From 9am to 1pm the pupils will take part in the long jump, ball throwing, 50 meters sprint and long distance race. All classes will remain at the Olympic Grounds throughout this time. There are no changing facilities on site, so please send your children to school dressed in sports gear and sturdy shoes. Remember to pack sufficient food and drink, and if necessary, rainwear.
If your child is allowed to go home directly from Hanns-Braun-Stadium, please write this into the blue school planer. The school planer must then be brought to the stadium that day.
If there is heavy and constant rain on the day the event will be cancelled and all classes will have lessons from 8am to 1pm.
Yours faithfully,
The teaching staff of Charles Dickens Primary School

Registration
Registering your child at the Charles Dickens Europe School:
- First go to your child’s allocated school and fill out an application for a school transfer. (Umschulungsantrag)
- Bring this application, the child’s birth certificate and your identification card or police registration (with address) when registering.
- Please fill in the registration forms completely and legibly.
Please be aware that no registration forms can be accepted before the official registration dates.
Registration dates for school year 2019/2020: October 4th – October 17th 2018
9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Please also be aware that you are personally responsible for registering your child. The allocated primary school will not do this for you. Our school admits children who have English or German as their native language. Teachers meet with each child to assess their present stage of language development before admission. All children are required to have at least a passive understanding of the English language.
