Dear Visitor:

Welcome to the Washington Township School District located in beautiful Warren County. Our school district consists of two elementary schools, the Port Colden School and the Brass Castle School, educating students in grades Kindergarten through Sixth. Washington Township is a place that reflects, nurtures and promotes the sense of fellowship so valued by the community it serves. We are proud of the exceptionally high and active involvement by Washington Township families in our school activities and functions. Funds raised through PTA activities support many aspects of the curriculum through enrichment and cultural activities, new materials and equipment. Most important, however, is the positive and cooperative relationship of the parents, the teachers and the children who work together on a variety of projects.

The teaching staff is a dynamic, diverse group of veteran and new teachers, who eagerly participate in professional development. Committed to quality, they continue to reflect upon current practices in light of recent research findings. The faculty is committed to an instructional program which fosters and enhances the development of a community of learners within which students learn to set and achieve high standards. We have evolved towards a student-centered curriculum rich in quality literature with an emphasis on process as well as the product of writing. In Math there is an emphasis on problem solving and application in addition to computational skills.

Technology is also an emphasis at Washington Township. We have rapidly expanded in this area so that our students have access to not only equipment and software, but are able to go online to do research. The entire faculty has been trained to use technology as a teaching tool.

There are also many clubs and activities in which the students can be involved. The Homework Club is a tutoring service provided by teachers four days a week after school. Other clubs include Spanish, Gardening, Book, Babysitting, and Computer to name a few. The other activities include Instrumental Music, After-School Sports, and the Publishing Company.

In closing, the high quality efforts of all of our teachers, parents, students, and staff members continually move us toward our goals of achievement and overall program excellence.
