Dear Level III Families,

As Level III is the first year we hold conferences at the PNB School, we wanted to communicate a few expectations. You AND your student will need to be present at your conference. This allows for your student to receive feedback from their teacher directly, as well as have an open dialog with them to discuss your students goals and challenges. This is also a great time for your student to share what they have been writing in their ballet journal! If knowing this changes your availability for the conference you have already signed up for, please email the school at pnbschool@pnb.org.

We look forward to conferencing with you and your student soon!

Hello, Seattle Level III families!

Each year in the spring, we hold student conferences for Level III families via Zoom. Conferences are an important time to discuss progress from the past year and set goals.

In preparation for conferences, the Level III faculty work collectively to communicate their observations and corrections for each student. Conferences address effort, attendance, understanding of ballet concepts, and technical and physical development. Conferences last approximately 20 minutes and involve the student, parent(s) or guardian, and two representatives of the School, including the student’s teacher and the School Principal, Assistant Principle, or Managing Director.

Students are expected to take notes during their conference to use as a reference. Parents/guardians should discuss these evaluations with their child to ensure a shared understanding of the student’s progress.

Class placement for the 2023-2024 year will be discussed. Please note: advancement from one level to the next is not automatic. It is not uncommon for students to spend two to three years in a level as they progress through the school. Conferences will be scheduled via Zoom to accommodate working parents and allow for better scheduling.

The link for the Seattle sign up sheet can be found HERE. Please sign up for the earliest time available to you in order to allow for families with other afternoon obligations. The sign up deadline in WEDNESDAY, MAY 1ST. Please reach out to pnbschool@pnb.org with any questions or concerns.
