The Team
Meet the Pennypack House School Team
These individuals are united around a common goal: STUDENT SUCCESS!
Our team values the involvement of families and the engagement of the community in the programs and activities of Pennypack House School. Together, we make the difference, and it is our belief that a team approach is the best one as we work to collectively prepare our students for success in life and their chosen postsecondary pathway.
All school personnel may be reached by telephone by calling the school’s Main Office at 215.685.7752 or via email by sending them an email to their district email address.
- Email is generally the best method for contacting school personnel; however, you are asked to keep in mind that email is not designed to replace personal contact.
- Some topics are so sensitive, or require such extended response, that the staff member may opt to respond by telephone or in a virtual meeting or conference using the Zoom or Google Meet platform as opposed to an email.
Honoring the School District of Philadelphia’s commitment to exemplary customer service, our team makes reasonable attempts to respond to calls and emails within two (2) business days. Please note that there may be extenuating circumstances, which may prevent a response within this time frame. We strive to bring timely, appropriate resolution to any concerns that may be presented to us throughout the academic year and we appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work to research, investigate, remedy, and communicate our findings and any next steps related to expressed concerns.
Remember it is always best to contact the individual closest to the situation so that they can work with you to find a solution!
