HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A message from Mr. Jones:

All students in levels 2, 3, 4, 6, PDs and Apprentices are invited to don a costume to class on Thursday, October 31, 2013.

Costumes should allow for the perfect Pirouette, the grandest Grand Plie, and the biggest Battement and should not interfere with any range of motion
or cover your face (no masks).  Also, we need to be aware of our youngest dancers who will be here on Halloween; no gory costumes, please!

Come one, come all, to class in your finest garments, your scariest suits, your frilliest fineries on Halloween! 

See you there…Bwhahaha….

Absence Reporting

Dear SOBT Families,

Please direct all absence requests and notifications to schoolofobt@obt.org. You will receive a response. If your child is ill, transportation falls through, or an unexpected event occurs and your child must miss class, he or she will be excused even with same-day notification. If possible, please report all same-day absences before the start of your child's class time. Phone calls are also accepted for same-day absences. If you are going out of town or your child has a prior commitment, we prefer at least one week's notice. Thank you.

Keeping Quiet In The Lobby

Dear SOBT Parents,

We've been having trouble with excess noise in the lobby and could benefit from your cooperation in preparing your child for his/her arrival to SOBT. All children in Levels 1 and 2 (as well as First Steps on Saturday mornings) should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to class start time. Please remind your children that during this time they should store their belongings in the cubbies and return immediately to the main lobby area for self-directed stretching exercises.

While we do our best to keep noise volume down with gentle reminders, your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Karin Cravotta
School Receptionist
