Great News! Tax Refunds and Payment Plan Updates for PNB Classes

To PNB School Families,

We’re pleased to share some good news: We’ve received confirmation from the Washington Department of Revenue (via ArtsWA) that dance classes are not classified as “live presentations.” As a result, PNB classes are not subject to sales or B&O taxes.

If your student registered after October 1st, your taxes will be refunded.

If your payment plan was recently adjusted to six larger installments, we will revert that change and resume spreading your payments evenly through June as originally planned.

If you recently switched from a monthly payment plan to a biannual payment plan and would prefer to return to monthly billing, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Please note that all Quarter 4 charges will be processed on April 6th, as originally planned.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion and greatly appreciate your continued flexibility and understanding!

Kristen Carder

School Registrar

Hallo’week at PNB School!!

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!

Modern class will still be held 7:15-8:30pm. We realize the modified class schedule and conference schedule may make it difficult to attend the modern class, therefore Modern class will be optional for Adv C students tomorrow.

Thank you!
