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.

Welcome to 2011!

With the onset of the second decade of the 21st Century upon us ... we are at an exciting time in history! During 2011, we plan to continue to Educate the Minds of Tomorrow as we enter into Pennoyer's 171st year as a public elementary school. While the learning opportunities for our students are endless, we want to share some highlights of our plans for the immediate future. For the remainder of this school/fiscal year, our plans include (but are not limited to the following):
 
  • -reviewing and assessing the myriad of learning interventions associated with the normal course of doing business and the initiatives related to RtI and problem solving and PBIS
  • -reviewing and planning for instructional technology needs at the classroom and school levels
  • -overhauling the current teacher evaluation process and instrument (bringing it up to School Code and Best Practices)
  • -implementation of a staffing plan for the coming school year that best matches fiscal responsibility and student needs
  • -customer service inventories for stakeholders including students, parents, staff, community members
  • -celebrating the excellence at the school for all of our 420 students Pre-K - 8th grades
  • -continuing school traditions and student celebrations 
  • -continuing to use many modes of communication to inform the community about the great adventures in learning at Pennoyer School

So - Welcome 2011! We have a lot planned to make this a great year!
