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.

Possible Snow Day on Wednesday???

Dear Pennoyer Community,

It seems like we may get hit with a big storm/blizzard that might affect school on Wednesday ... we're watching the news and we are communicating with area superintendents. If the weather really looks bad/unsafe, we will aim to make the call to open, close, or delay the start of school on Wednesday with as much advance notice as possible.

We will use the automated phone calling system to inform you about the decision, no later than 6:00am on Wednesday, and as soon before that as possible. We will also use our website, http://www.pennoyerschool.org, the Facebook Page and the Twitter Page to announce our plans. Depending upon the weather, we may make our decision tomorrow (Tuesday) to give everyone as much notice as possible.

We appreciate your support as these are often the most unpredictable calls to make!

Sincerely,

Mike, Sue, the Pennoyer Faculty & Staff
