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.

Digital Day is coming to Pennoyer

Tomorrow instruction in all classes for all students will have a digital theme!

Principal Susan Miceli's brainchild, inspired by http://www.digitallearningday.org/, will take off on May 24, 2012 at historic Pennoyer School. Motivated by "best instructional practices" and engaged learning, Mrs. Miceli and the outstanding Pennoyer faculty and staff will jump into and out of "comfort zones" by taking instructional risks in some classes, by allowing students to "BYOD" bring their own technology devices (i.e. smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc.).

Other classrooms will benefit from the technology resources at the school. Thanks to funding from the PTC (Parent Teacher Council) and the Board of Education and the Norwood Park Township Trustees and other partnerships, Pennoyer students are able to learn with modern day tools that support and enrich daily learning activities!
