Woodmont Elementary School located in Pine Brook, New Jersey, enrolls approximately 365 students in grades K-5. Woodmont also houses two self-contained classes for children eligible for special education services.

The Woodmont faculty is committed to planning and implementing a variety of activities that facilitate the preparation of our students for the challenge of mastering the NJ Core Curriculum Standards and the Workplace Readiness Standards.  At Woodmont, lessons are planned to address all modalities, with resources and technology enhancing the curriculum and challenging all learners.  Skills are continuously assessed, providing the information necessary to create small ability based groups.  Moreover, teachers practice differentiated instruction in order to provide each student what they need and not just a “one size fits all” approach.

Primary teachers have based instruction on thematic and integrated units of study. The successful utilization of cooperative learning strategies, a literature based reading program, and learning centers provide an exciting educational environment. At the intermediate level, teachers construct lessons that promote problem-solving skills, writing across the content areas, and learning how to apply the scientific method when conducting experiments. More recently, students have been learning how to integrate the use of technology to improve research skills and learning.  This includes exposure to video streaming, participation in web quests, and utilization of SmartBoards.

To further enrich our curriculum, students participate in various school programs such as Student Council, Art Club, Math Club, Safety Patrol, Classroom Helpers and a Buddy Reading program between grade levels. The Fine Arts program is enhanced with opportunities for choral and instrumental performances and exhibitions of student artwork both in the school and in the community. 

Woodmont's Parent-Teacher Association continues to be a driving force within the school. Parent volunteers fundraise to support cultural arts programs, assist in the library, manage a hot lunch program three days a week, chaperone field trips, provide school-wide enrichment programs, organize class celebrations, assist teachers with special curriculum projects, and help seasonally decorate the school grounds, thereby inspiring school spirit and pride in our school.  The Woodmont PTA, through their fundraising efforts, have provided our school with seven SmartBoards and a new sound system during this past year.

Students also learn from their parents and teachers the importance of giving to the community as citizens. Student Council activities such as clothing drives, Toys for Tots, implementation of the Drug Awareness and Resistance Education (DARE) program, Thanksgiving food basket collection, various walkathons/marathons, and participation in the Anti-Vandalism Poster Contest demonstrate Woodmont students' active role in the community.  Most recently, our community has mobilized to collect funds to aid the hurricane victims in our southern states.

The administration, faculty, support staff, and parents of Woodmont School are dedicated to developing students who demonstrate high achievement, enjoy learning, contribute to their community, and acquire skills for lifetime success. As a result, Woodmont's students participate in a challenging educational program that inspires lifetime learners and develops caring and compassionate citizens.  Woodmont School – where childhood is a journey,  not a race!
