About Pennoyer

Pennoyer School proudly educates children from parts of Norridge, Harwood Heights, and unincorporated Norwood Park Township. During the 1830's, the Pennoyer family came from new England and settled in what is now known as Norridge. The land they settled laid between what is now East River Road and Cumberland Avenue. In 1838, members of the community met at the home of John Pennoyer to discuss the plans for the development of a school. The school began in 1839, in Pennoyer's home. In 1954 it was decided to build a new school at the corner of Cumberland and Foster Avenue. A major addition was added in 2001. The school district proudly educates children in grades PK-8.

Parking Lot Reminders

Dear Pennoyer Families,

Welcome back to Pennoyer for a great 2011! We want to make sure it is a safe year so we would like to share a few reminders with you.

We had congestion in the parking lot at dismissal for a few days before break; however, we found that on the days when parents arrive for pickup closer to the dismissal bell, traffic flowed much better. Please continue to arrive closer to 3:00pm to eliminate the drive way/parking lot  backup.

* When you enter the lot, pull into an available parking space.  Drive around in a circle when every parking space is filled.

* Do not park in a fire lane or in the driving lane, pull around.  

* You can always park at the Salvation Army lot and walk across Cumberland Avenue (with a crossing guard).

* By law, you may not use cell phones in the parking lot.

Please make sure to share this important safety information with baby sitters, grandparents, or anyone who will drive your child to or from school.

As always, we are in touch with the Norridge Police Department to find the best solutions to improve safety.

Thank you all for your support and patience.

 

Happy New Year!
