Dear Parents/Guardians,

     Welcome to Washington School!  You will find it to a be a large school, but a close knit one, embodying the spirit of a community school where all students, staff, and family work collaboratively to ensure student success, achievement, support, and fun!  All 400+ students spend their days actively involved in learning activities which focus on the New Jersey State Core Curriculum Standards as well as our own district curricula, while coming to understand that learning is an ongoing, lifelong, FUN activity.

Here, parents works closely with educators to ensure that our home and school partnership provides our children with all the ingredients for optimal growth. We concern ourselves with math and writing, reading and science, social studies and world languages, and also with health and nutrition, music and art,  physical fitness and responsible, caring behavior.

We are proud of our children , their families, our staff and our school community, and hope that our website communicates that fact!

                                                                                         Sincerely,

                                                                                                    Barbara M. Adams

                                                                                         Principal
