Penn Elementary was first opened in September 1975, using funds from Proposition 20. It started as a K-5 grade school with about 250 students.

Visitors

Parents are welcome on campus, but before reporting to the classroom it is important to stop by the office to pick up a visitors badge. We cannot have unannounced classroom visitors.

Los padres de familia son bienvenidos en la escuela, pero antes de ir al salon, es muy importante pasar a la oficina para recoger su gafete de visitante. No podemos tener visitas sin registrarse en la oficina.
