SEATTLE: Classes Tomorrow Morning Saturday April 12th; Limited Waiting Space for Parents

Hello PNB Tots, Creative Movement and Pre Ballet families,

As we shared last week, PNB is currently hosting an event through tomorrow, Saturday April 12th called Teachers’ Seminar here at the Phelps Center. This is a friendly reminder that we please ask that parents do not wait in the lobby area tomorrow morning as we will have 40 extra teachers here navigating the space. The board room will be utilized by this event so unfortunately that space will not be available to wait in as well. We ask that if you are able, please drop your student off and or wait outside so that we can keep the lobby space clear for the extra foot traffic that will be occupying the building.

We would also like to address recent volume levels with in the school office on Saturday mornings. We love the energy and excitement that Saturday mornings bring to PNB with our students and families! We’d like to kindly remind everyone through that the school office is a working space, and recently, the noise levels on Saturday mornings have been exceedingly high. This has made it challenging for our staff to assist families and conduct business effectively.

We respectfully ask that conversations and activity near and in the school office be kept at a low volume to help maintain a productive and professional environment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your understanding and cooperation!
