Children Registration

In the unlikely event COVID/Health regulations change, classes could be shifted to an online format.

PTA Meeting

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!

Late-Pickup Policy
Purpose: In order to respect the hours of operation of our School, the following policy has been put in place. Policy: Our classes finish at 8:30 pm on Mondays in Novelty, at 9:00 pm on Wednesdays in Olmsted Falls and at 12:00 pm on Saturdays in Olmsted Falls.

All children are expected to be picked up by a parent or authorized guardian promptly by the scheduled end time.

A "no exceptions" policy makes it easier to apply the late policy to everyone fairly. Procedure: If a parent/guardian has not picked up a child within 10 minutes of the scheduled end time, and we are not able to reach the parents/guardians, we will call Child Protective Services and/or the local Police Department.

If a parent/guardian arrives late to pick up a child, the teacher assigned to supervise the remaining child/children will complete a Late-Pickup Report, and the parent/guardian will be asked to sign it. Parents/Guardians will then be asked to pay the late-pickup policy fee to the German Language School Cleveland by check or cash immediately or the following week at the latest.

Consistent late pickups may lead to dismissal from our program. Late-Pickup Policy Fee: After the 10-minute mark, a $1.00 per minute late fee is charged.
