SOBT Lockers - Level 3 through Apprentices

Attention Level 3 Students through Apprentices,

With the close of the SOBT 2015 Fall term, and OBT's move to our new building we ask that students who have used a locker in the SOBT dressing rooms remove all personal belongings and personal locks, and see School Reception for wet wipes to wipe down the locker. After 2:30 PM on Saturday, December 5 any locks still in place will be cut and personal belongings left will be placed in lost and found, and donated.

Also, any belongings still in the lost and found bins will be donated. Please take a few minutes to look through these items in case one of your belongings has been placed there.

Should you have any questions please contact the School.

Thank you,

SOBT Staff

UPDATED: SOBT Family Meeting 11/14/15

Dear SOBT Families,

The parent meeting originally scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2015, has been rescheduled for the following Saturday, November 14, 2015, at 2:30 PM. Thank you in advance for your understanding, and we hope this later date will allow more of you to attend.

I also want to take this time to clarify some of the information in the press release. As of January 4, 2016, The School of OBT will operate two locations: the Portland Studio (our new South Waterfront home) and a suburban branch, the West Linn Studio. All current classes at 818 SE 6th Ave. will be transferring to the new Portland Studio; this includes Pre-ballet – Level 6 and all adult classes. The West Linn Studio will have its own class offerings for Pre-ballet – Level 2 and a selection of adult classes. No classes are being transferred to the West Linn Studio and no students will be expected to transfer studios; it will be business as usual in Portland! The West Linn Studio is a supplement to the Portland Studio and will allow us to open our course offerings and classes up to a wider audience.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday, November 14, at 2:30 PM!

Kind regards,

Anthony Jones
School Director
