Welcome to Washington
Washington Elementary School is a school community of approximately 480 Tk-5th grade students committed to their Learning, Leadership, Collaboration, and Persistence. The staff and parents are deeply involved in providing a quality education for all children. Washington has great support from the surrounding community partnerships such as Santa Clara University, the San Jose Tech Museum, and the San Jose Rotarians. Children are intellectually challenged as they are given opportunities to develop self-esteem and leadership skills. Staff members collaborate to provide access to the total curriculum for all students through flexible groupings and enrollment in an Academic Language Acquisition (ALA) focused on supporting primary language and/or a Structure English Immersion program.
The mission of the Washington School staff, parents, and students is to work collaboratively toward the achievement of school goals, and its vision. Together they endeavor to create a safe environment, which fosters the development of responsible caring students who are critical thinkers, leaders and creators of tomorrow. We expect our students to be lifelong learners in pursuit of personal excellence, and who can adapt to the challenges of the future.
