Reminder! PNB Student Buttons
Hello Upper Division Students,
This is a friendly reminder that you need to have your PNB button either on your bag or on you in some capacity to enter the building every day, including Saturdays. These buttons are just as important as your backstage passes over at the theater in keeping you and your peers safe while you are here on campus. It must be visible to the guard or outdoor camera in some capacity. We understand it can be hard to keep them on your bag so we encourage you to find another place to keep them. Either in your wallet or in a pocket in your bag to pull out and show the guard or camera every time you come to enter the building. You can always sew it to your bag as well. If you misplace your button, please see the school office for a replacement.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for understanding and for following these safety procedures we have in place!

Reminder! PNB Access Badges / Student Buttons
Hello PNB Families!
We want to thank everyone for complying to our new security measures this year! We have had such a positive response from families and appreciate everyone for following these new procedures to keep our students and parents safe while on campus.
We just wanted to send a friendly reminder that these protocols are extremely important, especially as we head into the winter season. Please remember to continue the following;
Have Your Parent/Guardian Badge Ready When Entering the Building!
This can be saved on your phone in your photo app or printed out – as some of you have already done! If you are a new parent or haven’t received the badge, please email us at pnbschool@pnb.org and we can send you the link.
Keep Your Orange Student Button on Your Bag!
Having trouble keeping it on your bag? No worries! Just have it on you in some capacity, whether that means in a pocket, wallet, or pouch, we just need you to have it on you to show the guard/camera at the door. If you misplace your button, please let the school office for a replacement.
Sign In at the Front Desk and Get a Parent Sticker!
If you are planning on staying for the duration of your student’s class or have to go past the stanchions for any reason, please make sure you’re signing in and getting a Parent/Guardian sticker up at the front desk. Please note; parents are still only allowed to wait in the front lobby or school office, parents are not permitted to wait or work in the student lounge or back hallways, these areas are for STUDENTS ONLY. Parents can access the bathrooms and changing rooms, but will be asked to move if they are lingering in the hallways outside studios, or in the student lounge.
Thank you all once again. Please reach out if you have any questions!
Best,
PNB School

PC & FRC Level V Fall Conference Sign-Up!
Afternoon Seattle & Bellevue Level V Families,
We are delighted to have you back this fall! Individual student/parent conferencing for our Level V students are coming up in December.
This year we are introducing a new conference format! Conferences will replace Level V classes on your students respective conference date, and will take place over Zoom in 15 minute time blocks.
Seattle Level V conferences will take place on Tuesday December 2nd from 4:00pm-5:45pm and 4:00pm-6:00pm.
Bellevue Level V conferences will take place on Monday December 8th from 4:00pm-6:00pm.
As always, the student conferences will include discussions about your progress and mastering technique and artistry. Prior to conferences, your teachers work collectively to communicate their individual observations and corrections for each student. Conferences provide a platform to discuss not only what you are working on in class in the way of technique, but also your plans for the future and how we can help guide you successfully into the next chapter in your life. Parents and students please come prepared with questions and let us know how we can help make this a successful year for you.
Below click on the location your student attends and you will find the sign-up sheet for conferences:

A second reminder will go out the day of your student’s conference that will include the Zoom links and Faculty attending the conference.

Good Afternoon PNBS Families!
Please find the updated Student Rental Request Form 2025-2026 below!
As auditions near, we want to remind our families that you can rent a studio from either location to record a video or take pictures for an upcoming audition. Attached in this post is our Updated Student Rental Request Form for the 2025-2026 year. This form will need to be filled out in advance and emailed to the school for approval. Due to the number of students this year, we cannot accommodate walk in requests. Students are allowed one parent to come in for the rental. Please provide two dates on the form with the times available for your student to come in.
If you need a faculty member for your rental, please note this on the email when you send in the request. Not all rentals can guarantee a faculty member to be present. If you need a faculty member, this will be a $100 per hour charge not included in the base rental price. If you are renting with others, all students must fill out the rental form first and email the school for approval. Only 1 student will have to pay for the rental. There is a max of 2 students per rental. Rentals start at $45 an hour with a 90-minute max per session. Photographs start at $25 for 30 minutes. We will be unavailable to accept student rentals over the winter break.
