This building was built in 1991 adjacent to
Thomas R. Grover Middle School , a year after Millstone Elementary School was built. This was recently after the Plainsboro and West Windsor school districts merged, when a district expansion project was initiated to accommodate the influx of new students entering the area. It uses amodern architecture , and its outside is a facade of reddish-brown bricks and a black-letterTimes New Roman sign with the school's name, surrounded by a circular, light gray outline in brick cement. The building is two stories high.This school was once used as a school for grades
Kindergarten -3 but due to the construction of a new elementary school (Town Center Elementary School ), Village Elementary School was then converted to a school for fourth to fifth graders.Classes
Most classes in the school have Integrated Reading and Language Arts, and math taught by the exact same teacher. However, classes switch teachers in order to learn either
science orsocial studies from another teacher. Also, students are led to different rooms for the subjectsart ,physical education , andmusic . The increasing variety of teachers will help students prepare formiddle school , which usually has a single specialized teacher per subject.From 4th grade, there are two general mathematics classes, one taught by the homeroom teacher, and another one by a specialized teacher. The latter class is more advanced, called the Accelerated and Enriched (A&E) mathematics program. Students must have passed a test in 3rd grade to advance into this class, and this placement lasts until the 8th grade, which is when recommendations for
high school are made.In the mid-2000s, the school district integrated reading and language arts classes into one, district-wide. Thus, this school was also influenced.
