The Student-Parent Handbook is posted in Veracross.  The Handbook will be updated over the summer. All parents and students are required to read the Handbook and adhere to the policies within.

The College Counseling Handbook is a valuable resource for families as they begin to plan the college search and application process.

Emergency alerts are used to notify parents and students about School closings or delayed openings. Alerts are sent to all phone numbers in the student's record. A test of the emergency notification system takes place early in September. The alerts are also sent as voice mails. Please make sure that if your cell phone number changes, you update your contact information in your Veracross Parent Portal. For more information about the School's inclement weather policy, see below.

Weekly Email to Parents: Every Friday morning, parents will receive an email called Pennington Postings. The Postings contains important information and reminders about upcoming School events; it is the best way to find out what will be happening in the week ahead. To prevent the Postings from disappearing into your spam filter, we suggest adding penningtonpostings@pennington.org to your list of contacts and approved senders. 

Daily Student Newsletter: All students receive a daily communication through our Schoology platform (Schoology is our learning management system where assignments and grades are posted). This daily post on Schoology is called The Voice, and includes reminders for students about the numerical day to follow, the dining hall menu, notices about athletics, club meetings, after-school activities, and more. Students should be sure to read The Voice each day.

Parents can also view The Voice if they wish by logging into Schoology through their own account, where it is posted each day.

All Middle School and Upper School students are required to adhere to the School's dress code policy. Middle School students have a different dress code than Upper School students. Parents should be familiar with all dress code policies as students who arrive at School out of dress code will receive conduct points.

Dress code details are in the Student/Parent Handbook, located on Veracross.

All Pennington students are issued ID cards with a swipe card payment system attached. The system is called My Kids Spending. The swipe card offers students an easy and convenient way to make purchases in the Campus Store, the snack bar, and for other School-related activities throughout the year.

New families should have received an email from My Kids Spending (MKS) earlier this week with instructions for setting up and managing their child 's MKS account. If you have not received an email from support@mykidsspending.com, please contact HelpDesk for technical support. 

Returning parents should be sure to check their child’s account statement, which is available through your Veracross parent portal, and add funds if necessary.  The School recommends keeping a balance of at least $25.00 on your account.  If you have general questions or need clarification on the system, please contact Debbie Mitchell in the Business Office.
