Nutcracker Snowflake Volunteer Sign-Up

Each year, PNB School students in levels VI, VII, and VIII join us as Snowflakes in the McCaw Hall lobby for performances of The Nutcracker. Volunteers will wear Snowflake costumes and walk around the lobby taking photos with patrons.

We need four students to volunteer on November 24th-26 and December 5-6. Please do not sign up if you have a PNB school class that conflicts with your shift or if you are already performing or volunteering backstage. Volunteers are asked to arrive at McCaw Hall an hour and fifteen minutes before the show begins and to stay through intermission. Volunteers will receive a ticket to stay and watch the show after their shift!

To sign up, visit PNB.org/lobbysnowflake

The deadline to sign up is Friday, November 17. To allow as many students to participate as possible, sign-ups are limited to one-slot-per-student. Shifts will be assigned on a first-come-first served basis. See you at the hall!

REMINDER: Attendance

Students are required to attend all scheduled classes for the Level in which they are registered. Partial attendance is not allowed. Students or their families must report all absences to the School prior to class time in order to be excused.

Students who are injured are expected to observe classes and take notes. Students may be excused from being required to observe classes during cases of extended absences due to injury on a case by case basis at discretion of the Managing Director and/or Principal. Attendance in all scheduled classes is critical to consistent progress and advancement in the School. Poor attendance (whether absences are excused or unexcused) may jeopardize a student’s promotion, participation in productions, or Financial Aid. There are no make-up classes for any class cancellations or student absences.

Students cast in company productions are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes in addition to rehearsals. There are no make-up classes for classes missed due to rehearsals.

It is essential that students come to class on time. Late arrival does not allow a student sufficient time to warm up, may cause injuries and disrupts class concentration. Students more than fifteen minutes late to any class will not be permitted to participate in or observe the class.

You can find the above statement in our Student Handbook on pages 19 -20.

REMINDER: Attendance

Dear PNB families,

For those that are in our Children’s Division (Tots, Creative Movement, & Pre-Ballet) we ask that you have your student arrive on time. Our Children’s Division Classes run no longer than 45 min – 1 hour. It is very important for students to be prepared to start class on time and ask that you remind your child to use the bathroom before class.

Please see below for our policy around attendance that can be found in the Student Handbook on pages 19 -20:

Students are required to attend all scheduled classes for the Level in which they are registered. Students or their families must report all absences to the School prior to class time in order to be excused. Attendance in all scheduled classes is critical to consistent progress and advancement in the School.

REMINDER: Dress Code for Arriving & Leaving the School

Hello PNB Families,

We wanted to send a friendly reminder about dress code for arriving and leaving the school that is stated in our Student Handbook:
No one is to arrive or leave PNB School wearing only a leotard and tights. No technique shoes may be worn outside. This policy reflects our concern for the safety of our students and maintaining our studio floors.
