Classes Suspended Due to Health Precaution

Dear OBT School families,

The Lake Oswego School District has identified a presumptive case of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. According to their communications symptoms began on February 19 and the identified individual may have exposed students and staff within the Lake Oswego School District.

As many OBT School students come from the Lake Oswego School District, OBT School will be following this district's protocols. We realize this is a departure from our normal protocol of following Portland Public School District's closures, and thank you for your understanding.

All classes at the Portland and West Linn locations, the Circus Polka audition, and today's family meeting are suspended effective Saturday, February 29. Classes will remain suspended until further notice. Please look for updates on the school’s reopening via email communication and the blog. Please check the Student Production blog for the rescheduled Circus Polka audition: http://obtyoungdancer.blogspot.com/.

OBT will undergo a deep cleaning while the school is closed. If you, or your student exhibit Coronavirus symptoms please seek the appropriate medical attention, then notify OBT at schoolofobt@obt.org or sobtwestlinn@obt.org.

We have no reason to believe, at this stage, that anyone involved with OBT or OBT School has contracted the virus, but we want to follow conservative procedures to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our community. We will continue to update on the situation and provide information as it becomes available. Thank you all for your understanding.

Kevin Irving - Artistic Director

Michael Greer - Executive Director
Allison Lyneham - OBT Board Chair
