Hello PNB School families,
As you may recall, we notified you in December that restrictions regarding access to PNB facilities would be lifted in March. We are happy to share that we are officially restoring building access to our school families.
PNB’s dance facilities, while wonderfully accommodating to our students and dancers, are very busy buildings and space is limited. We respectfully ask all visitors to show consideration for our working environment. With building access returning, we will be monitoring these changes and may update procedures in the future.
As each school location is slightly different, we ask that you please take the time to read our rules and regulations:
-Dropping off your student no more than 15 minutes and picking up promptly (within 15 minutes of the end of class) helps mitigate the volume and traffic in the hallways.
-When possible, please have your student arrive dressed for class.
-No photography or videography in the building at any time.
-Please do not stop in the hallways to view classes and rehearsals.
– Please utilize the parent/guardian badge to be granted access to our buildings. This is for security and safety purposes as this is one of our top priorities for those a part of PNB. This badge can be found here on the portal (attached to this post below – you can bookmark this page), and is to show proof that you are a PNB Parent/Guardian. All of our staff and faculty have a similar badge and is for safety and security, as we are located in very public places.
Eastside/Francia Russell Center
- We ask that all parents/guardians remain in the lobby; please do not pass the stanchions by the front desk. If you need to use the restrooms in the back, we ask that you do not proceed upstairs, as that is restricted to PNB staff, faculty, and Pilates students.
- We ask that you please wait in a parking spot for your student if you arrive more than 5 minutes prior to the end of your students’ class. As you are in the pickup/drop-off line please pull up as the cars in front of you leave in order to keep the line moving. If needing to leave your vehicle, please park in a designated parking spot.
Seattle/Phelps Center
- We have repurposed and transformed our former telemarketing space to create a new parent guardian/lounge. The lounge is just to the right of the main doors of the Phelps Center, and is under the watchful eye of our wonderful security guard. We ask all parents/guardians to utilize this lounge to help ease congestion inside the main building. The lounge is equipped with a restroom, microwave, wifi, and space to meet and converse with other PNB parents.
- When inside the main part of the building, we ask that you do not pass the stanchions (unless needing to utilize the restroom) and remain on the first floor; second floor access is strictly for PNB staff and company dancers.
As always, our goal is to maintain a safe, welcoming, and productive environment.
