The 2021-2022 Pennell Elementary Handbook details all you need to know about your 2021-2022 academic year. Much of that information is included under tabs on this website as well. Here are some additional topics found in the handbook that may be of interest to you and your family.
-
Bicycles
Students in grades 3-5 may ride bicycles to school. Bike helmets must be worn. All bicycles must be locked on the bicycle rack provided at school.
-
Field Trips
Field trips are an important part of the learning process. Each grade level plans two trips a year to enhance the curriculum. All school policies and procedures are in effect during a field trip. Parents who volunteer to chaperone a field trip are obligated to follow school policy and procedure, as such chaperones may not bring siblings or other children on a field trip. Chaperones must have clearances on file with the district. Please note, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances or weather conditions, a field trip may suddenly need to be canceled on the day of the trip and rescheduled at a later date.
-
Pets
For the safety of all students, pets are not permitted on school property at arrival, dismissal, or during school hours.
-
Toys and Electronics
Toys and electronic devices are not permitted in the school building. These personal items can be easily broken, misplaced or stolen. Students who bring a cell phone to school will be asked to turn the phone off and place it in their school bag until the end of the school day. Cell phones are to be left off and away until a student exits the school bus. No cell phones are permitted on the school bus. The school will not be responsible for lost or stolen toys, electronics or cell phones.

Birthdays
Birthday snacks must be pre-arranged with the teacher and will be provided at lunch. Please provide snacks that are easy to distribute. We ask that you choose a snack that is peanut-free and is as nutritional as possible. It is helpful if you can alert/contact the teacher in advance. Please consult our district wellness policy before choosing a snack.
Birthday invitations for outside-of-school parties can be distributed in school if all classmates are included. If invitations are meant for just a few classmates, they must be distributed outside of school.
