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.

We are OPEN tomorrow!! Normal School Day Friday, February 4, 2011 - Ski Trip ON too!

Dear Students, families, staff, and community members,

Pennoyer School will be open tomorrow!! Please allow for extra time in the morning and afternoon commute as some roads are still icy and snowy!!  Please use extra caution waiting for buses as some corners have high snow piles.

The Ski Trip is ON - students should leave equipment in the Board room as has been done in the past.

PS - Regarding the Pepsi Refresh Project, we did an IMPRESSIVE job, ranking 67 out of more than 1100 projects. While it was not enough to win at this time, it shows how wonderfully successful we can be when we work together! I'm proud of our placement.

The Pepsi project is changing and there are no "roll overs" as have been done in the past; a new Pepsi project is expected to be unveiled in the month of May - we'll be watching, and we may try to compete again??
