Hello PNB School Families,
PNB School wants to reassure our families that we have policies and procedures in place in the event that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or other agents of the federal government attempt to access PNB spaces. To date, PNB has had no instances of ICE activity at any PNB location.
We have posted the following sign on the front doors of the Phelps Center and Francia Russell Center:
” No agent of the federal government, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), may enter these premises for purposes of civil immigration enforcement, absent a valid judicial warrant or court order. This property may not be used for civil immigration enforcement as a staging area, processing location, or operations base. “
Additional protocols for staff have been sent company wide.
As always, the security and safety of our students, families, and staff is our first priority. If you have concerns that prevent your dancer from attending class, this will always be considered an excused absence.
Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to support your family.
