Our mascot got a name: SID
The new mascot name was decided by an online vote available to all community members (students, staff, and parents). 200 Community members voted for their favorite name out of 7. Did you realize that the name is DIS backwards? How cool is that.

Welcome, SID! 

All MYP and DP students went onto field trips to the Dresdner Heide and to the Elbe River at the beginning of the school year. By exposing our students to special team building and bonding activities, they learn the skills of working in a team while having fun and they get to know each other better.

The school emphasizes that our community´s health is a priority and we require that our new hygiene guidelines are strictly followed to minimise the spread of coronavirus infection and to support the continuity of learning on our school campuses. We ask our students and parents to read the hygiene plan agreement and all guidelines carefully. In Preschool and K5 the health certification has to be completed daily.

In responding to the act of racial violence and injustice DIS staff and school leaders have drafted a statement which we shared with our community. Within our Anti-Racism Statement to the DIS Community, we have indicated how we intend to work on concrete measures that address and counter racism in our work as educators.

Congratulations!

On June 13 our 30 graduates from 13 nations received their diploma at a very special graduation ceremony.
We have faith in you, our graduating class, that you will head out into this new world with courage, not looking back but facing forward.

In the last month, we as a school have tried to do our best to support your children through these unprecedented times. So far, the feedback from parents has been very encouraging. Indeed, the most important news agency in Germany, die Deutsche Presse Agentur (dpa), just called our school a digital showcase school (“Digitale Vorzeigeschule”).
