Seattle Class Assistants

Dear Seattle level VI, VII & VIII families,

PNBS is looking for student volunteers to serve as classroom assistants for our younger level classes.

Being a classroom assistant is a terrific way for your student to earn service hours at their academic school, build confidence, learn about teaching ballet & movement, and reconnect with their early dance training.

Conference Friendly Reminder

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!
