Positive Behavior Interventions and Support

Remind your kiddos of Pennell's expectations: be respectful, be responsible, and be safe.


Teachers and staff reinforce these expectations with Pennell Pals daily. We pull the Friday Five out of our Pennell Pals bucket each week.


We also recognize those students who go above and beyond the expectations with monthly post cards. Check out our most recent post card winners having fun completing their craft with Mrs. Pringle this past week!
