Pennell Families,


During this time of year it is important to reflect on the things that we are grateful for. As the principal of Pennell, I am thankful for a wonderful student body, a dedicated staff, a supportive PTO, and an involved community. I believe that it takes a village, and I'm proud to a part of this Penn-Delco family. Thank you for all of our support!


This week we will hold the fall parent-teacher conferences. Students have a half-day of school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to accommodate the conference schedule. Dismissal is at 11:15 all three days.


Have a great holiday with family and friends.


Upcoming Dates for your Calendar:

  • 11/20-22 half days for conferences
  • 11/23 and 24 No School
  • 12/1 End of First Trimester
  • 12/5 and 6 Holiday Shop
  • 12/8 Report Cards
