Mrs. Hofferman is the Data Processor at Jonathan Law High School, maintaining PowerSchool as well as setting up schedules, running progress reports, report cards, and the honor roll.  

She sets up new PowerSchool accounts for new students and their parents, sets up locker assignments, and works with the counselors to change students’ schedules. 

Together with (Assistant Principal) Mrs. Farotti, we build the master schedule for the next year which includes not only instructional classes, but study halls, Advisory, CERTOs, senior privilege, and Independent Studies,” Hofferman said.

Hofferman loves the community at Law as it is one of her favorite things about her job. 

“Hands-down, it’s the people – staff and students,” Hofferman said. “Law has such an amazingly warm and welcoming environment. They’re not kidding when they say we are a ‘Law Family.’ Everyone is so supportive and caring.”

Hofferman is a data expert and always available to help anyone  in the building. 

“Mrs. Hofferman does a lot for our building,” Principal Mr. Darcy said. “She analyzes data, helps run the schedule for the building, and creates special schedules when we have events running in the building. She is a data expert. I go to her weekly to gain valuable data that assists with making changes on how we can support our students better. On top of all that, she is just a great person who always jumps in to help everyone around her. “

Hofferman has been a part of the Law community for 10 years. Before coming to Law, she was a school secretary at Calf Pen Elementary School. Prior to working for Milford Public Schools, she was the Training Manager for a computer training and consulting company in Shelton.

Hofferman’s colleagues are amazed at how she handles so many daily tasks.

“Mrs. Hofferman is one of the most indispensable people at Law,” English teacher Mr. Kulenych said. “She has so many responsibilities but she does all of them so well and so efficiently – and she always, always has a smile on her face no matter how busy she is. She’s the best.”
