William Penn Elementary

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. 
We now have grown our Penn family to almost 400 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. 


Dear Families,

The 2025-26 Family Resource Guide (formerly Facts for Parents) is now available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. This guide includes important updates, family resources, and district policies for the new school year.

Please log in to Parent Portal to:

  • Review the Family Resource Guide.
  • Complete the one-question confirmation form.
  • Fill out the Universal Form (media release, technology use, discipline acknowledgement).

Families have from Friday, Sept 19-Friday, Dec 19 to complete the form.

Completing these required forms ensures your child can participate in media events, have their work showcased, and access important school resources.
