Pennell Scholars and Families,

Welcome back to Pennell for the exciting school year 2023-2024! I am delighted to return as the principal and continue working with you, our amazing scholars and dedicated staff.

I am proud to share that we saw growth in all areas, including reading, math, science, and student attendance. This indicates the positive impact of our collective efforts towards academic excellence. It is through the collaborative work of our teachers, staff, and supportive parents that we have been able to foster an environment of growth and achievement.

As we continue into this new school year, our focus remains on the holistic development of our scholars. We firmly believe that regular attendance plays a vital role in academic success. I encourage you, as parents and guardians, to partner with us in reinforcing the importance of regular attendance. By maintaining open communication with us and emphasizing the value of attending school consistently, we can work together to create a positive and supportive environment for our students.

I am genuinely excited for the year ahead and the opportunities it holds for our scholars. With your continued support and dedication, we can build upon the achievements of the past and make even greater strides towards the development of our scholars.

Please stay tuned to our school website, Dojo and Instagram for updates on upcoming events, workshops, and other valuable resources. We invite you to join us in creating a vibrant and supportive school community.

Once again, welcome back!  Let’s embark on this journey of growth, learning, and success together! See you all on September 5, 2023 @ 8:15!

Best regards,

Susan Lofton, Principal
