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.

5 Essentials Survey - Complete this now

Dear Pennoyer Parents,

 So far 5% of our parents have completed the survey - thank you! Now we are aiming for the 95% of you who have not yet completed the 5Essentials Survey: Organizing Schools for Improvement survey – so please click now!

 This short survey, being given statewide right now, will only take you about five minutes to complete, but the information you provide will be extremely valuable in helping us pinpoint our strengths and identify where we can do better. Your responses, as well as those from teachers and students in 6th – 8th grade, will show us how we fare in the five areas that have the most impact on student outcomes:

  • Effective Leaders
  • Collaborative Teachers
  • Involved Families
  • Supportive Environment
  • Ambitious Instruction

 The survey is anonymous; no parents, students or teachers will be identified in the school reports, which only present summary information. You can view the privacy policy online.

 

Follow this link to take the survey at your convenience – but please log in before March 31, when the survey closes.

 

The Illinois State Board of Education provides answers to frequently asked questions about 5Essentials. If you have other questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.
