Hello PNB Families,
Thank you for your flexibility these past few weeks as we quickly adjusted to virtual and hybrid learning after the holidays. After much evaluation, we are discontinuing virtual learning beginning next week and are pleased to return to strictly in-person classes starting Monday, January 24, 2022.
We will continue to closely monitor the health and safety of our students and staff and communicate any possible COVID-19 exposure information.
We have a few important reminders for our families so that you can help us continue to keep the PNB studios as safe as possible!
- Student health screenings must be done EVERY DAY a student has classes at a PNB studio, regardless of the student’s vaccination status. The health screenings need to be completed BEFORE the student enters the building for class. It is incredibly important that you answer the survey honestly each day so that we can monitor possible COVID symptoms and limit exposure risks.
- All students turning twelve this semester will have a month after their birthday in order to submit their proof of vaccination to the school. If you have a student under twelve years of age that is vaccinated please be sure to submit their proof of vaccination to the school as well.
- Students traveling at any point before the end of the school year need to email the school (pnbschool@pnb.org) to receive the correct travel form (based on their vaccination status) to be completed and returned before returning to classes post-travel.
- All unvaccinated students are required to test for COVID-19 every week.
- Contact the school via email (pnbschool@pnb.org) if your student has been exposed to a positive COVID-19 case, has themselves tested positive for COVID-19, or is exhibiting symptoms for COVID-19.
- Students who test positive for COVID-19 will need to contact the school for a form to complete before returning to classes. If the positive student exhibits symptoms they will be permitted back to the studios 10 days after their first day of symptoms. If the positive student does not exhibit symptoms they will be permitted back to the studios 7 days after their positive COVID test was taken.
- At this time, in an abundance of caution, pas de deux classes are still cancelled. We are reviewing weekly, and hope to reinstate those classes as soon as possible!
We know this time has been challenging for everyone, and we greatly appreciate your dedication to keeping PNB safe! We are looking forward to working with your student for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year!
