The 2025-26 Student-Parent Handbook is posted in Veracross. All parents and students are required to read the Handbook and adhere to the policies within.

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, 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. The dress code of The Pennington School is designed to respect the academic purposes of the School while enabling all students to feel comfortable in their learning environment. We consider Pennington students to be representatives of the School and our mission of individual excellence. This includes pride in one’s appearance. Clothing should be clean and neat and in good repair at all times.

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. There is also information here.

NEW FOR 2025-26:  All Upper School students will be required to wear a black blazer on Tuesdays for Chapel and on days when School formal dress is indicated.
