Hello Level VI, VII, VIII & Adv C students and families,

We wanted to give you a heads up that Elle Macy will be coming into some mentorship meetings this weekend to do a little social media filming! She does not have a specific filming scheudle so she may or may not come into your meeting. Just be prepared just in case.She will be popping in to capture videos of the students asking their mentor a “how to” question (how to glue your pointe shoes, do a French twist, ect).

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you!

Reminder!! Hallo’week Starts Tomorrow!

This is a reminder about Hallo’week at PNB!!

Hello PNB School Families,

It’s that time of the year to shake up the student dress code a little at PNB School! All PNB School Students may wear a costume (if they choose) to their classes on Friday, October 31st (reminder, there is an adjusted schedule that day. See a previous post)! In order to include everyone in this fun dress-up opportunity we will also allow students who do not have classes on Fridays to dress up on their last scheduled class day between Saturday, October 25th and Thursday, October 30th(Ex: I’m a level IIA student with classes on Tuesday the the 28th and Thursday the 30th; the 30th would be my dress up day).

Costumes should not restrict movement or cause great distraction in class. Please try to refrain from wearing costumes with glitter that sheds. Students may be asked to remove costumes or costume pieces at the discretion of the Faculty.

Please contact the school if you have any questions!
