Washington Elementary School (WES) is situated on a beautifully landscaped, tree-lined five-acre campus. The colonial style structure, which now comfortably houses 581 children, was built in 1931. The structural plan of the building provides: a full gym, a well equipped library and media center, a separate cafeteria complete with hot lunch and hot breakfast programs, a computer lab and device to student ratio that exceeds 1:1, a classic air-conditioned auditorium with a seating capacity for over 430 persons, 34 standard sized classrooms, a nurse's suite, individual instructional rooms for art, music, speech, special academic areas, and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. WES now has a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) lab too!  Having an SEL lab at WES is the result of an orchestrated effort between TUPS, Rutgers University, and Kean University.
