Washington School

Washington School is a primary school located at 89 Wood Street in Rutherford, New Jersey, United States. As part of the Rutherford Public Schools, Washington School is dedicated to providing a quality education for students in Kindergarten through Grade 3.

One of the exciting programs offered at Washington School is the Summer Enrichment Academy, available for incoming Kindergarten to Grade 3 students. This program provides a unique opportunity for students to continue learning and growing over the summer months.

At Washington School, students have the opportunity to participate in engaging activities such as Scooterville, where they learn about pedestrian and vehicular safety while driving scooters around a fictional town. They also explore the properties of solids by creating sun hats using everyday items.

Guest readers, including community members and high school students, visit Washington School during Read Across America Week to promote a love of reading. Additionally, parent workshops such as Practical Strategies for Strengthening Emergent Literacy Skills are offered as part of the Rutherford School District's Parent Academy.

As we welcome the arrival of spring and transition into the third trimester, Washington School looks forward to continued growth and success for all students.
