Mrs. Hoffman began her teaching career in Pennsylvania where she worked with children from the preschool to sixth grade levels.  When she first started teaching in Stafford in 1987, she began as a sixth grade teacher.   Afterwards, she taught third grade in both the Oxycocus and McKinley buildings before moving to Ocean Acres, first as a Family/School Liaison and later as a Supervisor.  In August 2008, Mrs. Hoffman became Principal of the McKinley Avenue Elementary School.  She is proud to serve the families of Stafford Township!
