A Schultüte is a large, decorated paper cone filled with school supplies, candies and trinkets that is given by parents to a child on his first day of school.  Students take their unopened Schultüte to school with them, have their picture taken, and then open them at school. Traditionally, parents will make smaller Geschwistertüten for any younger siblings on that day.

The parent orientation will give parents a chance to learn more about the school’s program, the children’s curriculum and the teaching methods used in our school. Parents will also have the opportunity to sign up for volunteering at the school. After the orientation you are welcome to stay and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and German cakes.
