Learn more about Central School.
The mission of the Warren Township School District is to provide, through a safe, nurturing yet challenging environment, all students with an outstanding education that engages students and fosters academic excellence, healthy social and emotional development, and a lifelong passion for learning.
All four elementary schools within the Warren Township School District share a standards based curriculum that is supported with common resources and scheduling strategies. School administrators work closely together to ensure that K-5 schedules support the consistent delivery of all programs offered within the schools to provide all students with similar opportunities to be supported, challenged and enriched as they move through their elementary years.
The Warren Township Board of Education supports a series of Board approved clubs at each school. Each principal coordinates with certified staff members to develop a unique menu of club opportunities and offerings. Clubs in each building are intended to provide enriching experiences for varied grade levels and interests. In addition, principals coordinate with the PTO and outside organizations to provide additional enrichment experience to the students as needed.
The Warren Township School District contracts with AlphaBest to provide before and after care services for all K-5 families. Before care begins as early as 6:30 AM and after care extends to 6:30 PM. The service is offered at each individual school. AlphaBest works closely with district and school representatives to plan and provide services that best meet the needs of the Warren Township students and families.
All K-5 staff participate in a comprehensive professional learning program that provides core and differentiated experiences to ensure a deep understanding of state and national standards and refines the delivery of best instructional practices. Staff hone their individual skills with the support of administration, instructional specialists, and highly effective colleagues who serve as staff development providers while reflecting on their practice through the Danielson Framework.
K-5 students are provided a comprehensive system of academic support services to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of learners. Supports are determined through a district identification process that uses multiple indicators including local benchmark assessments. Such supports include programs provided by a math basic skills teacher, certificated reading specialist and/or a gifted and talented teacher. The building's I&RS Committee also convenes regularly to identify and address student needs.
The physical, social and emotional well being of all students are paramount in our school as the Whole Child philosophy is embraced throughout the district. A full time nurse ensures the physical well being of each student. A comprehensive physical education program addresses student health and wellness. Daily recess provides an opportunity for students to exercise and practice social skills. A full time school counselor promotes mindfulness and character education lessons.
Parents and community members are part of the fabric of Central School. Through the PTO and SEPAG, parents volunteer and support programs such as author visits, school assemblies, reading events, International Day, Science Day and NJ History Day. Central school coordinates with the local Rotary Club, Public Library and other community organizations to enrich the student experience.
The Warren Township School District has embraced the importance of student centered learning. All staff coordinate to ensure that schools are maintained to the highest standards in order to ensure a safe and and orderly environment in which all students may thrive.

The Warren Township School District is committed to ensuring that all schools are as safe as possible, while, at the same time, maintaining school environments that support learning climates that are developmentally appropriate. The district has installed a first of its kind license scanner that is located outside the school doors. Any visitor to the district must scan their license and be logged into the visitor information system before being permitted access the building.
