VII Mentorship Meeting Date Change

This is a notice that there is a Mentorship Seminar for Level VII with Kali Kleiman & Noah Martzall scheduled this Saturday, Jan 10th from 10:00am-11:00am in the Second Floor Gallery Room. Due to some conflicting schedules this change has been made and approved by our Mentorship team. This will replace the original January Mentorship meeting that was planned for January 17th. These seminars are mandatory, and are part of PNB’s commitment to promoting healthy emotional development for our students! We do however understand that this is a bit of a last minute change, so if you are unable to attend we completely understand. Roll will be taken at each meeting for attendance. If you are unable to attend for any reason please contact us through the school inbox at pnbschool@pnb.org.

We are making some adjustments to the Wellness & Mentorship schedule, so keep an eye out for a portal post with an updated schedule in the coming weeks!

Best,

PNB School

Reminder! PNB Access Badges / Student Buttons

Happy New Year PNB Families!

As we start up classes again next week, we just wanted to send a friendly reminder about parent and student badges! 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.

Students Keep Your Orange 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

Winter Safety Reminder!

Good afternoon PNB School Families!

We wanted to send out a reminder to all of our students and families to please take time to exercise caution at drop-off and pick-up each day as we continue through the winter season. With days getting dark early in the afternoon, weather that can be unpredictable and difficult to see in, and lots of traffic at both school locations, we ask you to be mindful and practice safety at all times.

FRC/Bellevue Families

If you arrive more than 5 minutes prior to the end of your students’ class, please park your car in a PNB parking spot and walk to either the sidewalk/steps outside the front door or wait inside the lobby for your student to exit class. Younger students should always be walked to their vehicle, and at no time should students be running through the parking lot. Students should wait at the top of the stairs until their guardian arrives to ensure admin staff can supervise them. Please wait for the pick-up/drop-off line to finish moving, and for any oncoming traffic to move through the lot before crossing to a parked vehicle. Do not leave your parked car in the pick-up/drop-off line. Please contact the front desk if you notice you will be arriving late so that students can wait safely indoors until your arrival.

PC/Seattle Families

Please exercise safety precautions when navigating Mercer St. in front of the Phelps Center. If you are dropping your student off, please drop them off on the PNB side of Mercer St. to avoid using the crosswalk. If you need to use the crosswalk, please be very cautious and aware when crossing at the intersection of Mercer and 3rd Ave, especially in the dark. We encourage you to use the sky bridge that crosses above Mercer St. to avoid crossing such a high traffic area on foot. You can access the sky bridge from the ground floor of the Mercer St. Parking Garage/next to McCaw Hall.

All students leaving PNB School in the winter should always be wearing appropriate outdoor shoes and a raincoat or winter coat before exiting the building.

Thank you for your help! Our students’ safety is our top priority.

Best,
PNBS Staff

Leotard and Personal Hygiene reminder!

Hello Level III Families,

We are sending out a gentle reminder at the request of our teachers to make sure that students are coming to class with clean clothes and bodies to help reduce odor! We recommend washing your dancers’ leotards between classes whenever possible. A quick rinse with soap keeps leotards fresh, comfortable, and respectful to classmates and faculty.

Clean clothes = better focus, better dancing.

Additionally, in Level III most students have reached an age of development when they need to be wearing a deodorant when exercising. Please consider having your student use a deodorant during classes and rehearsals to keep their dance clothing and hard working bodies smelling fresh.

We also have a handful of spare clean Level III leotards at both schools to loan out for free that students may always use. If you have any old Level III leotards that no longer fit your dancer we would love to add to our stash, you can drop them off at the front desk! We are also always accepting tights to add to our collection!

Best,

PNB School
