Tracy Hofmann Named FUSD's 2008-09 Teacher of the Year


 

At the May 20, 2009 meeting of the Board of Education, the 2008-09 Site Teachers of the Year were recognized for their outstanding work and dedication on behalf of the students of Fontana.  Yolanda Mendoza, Associate Superintendent of Human Resources stated, "We love this evening - it is the Academy Awards for our District!"  From this exceptional group of teachers, Ms. Mendoza announced FUSD's 2008-09 Teacher of the Year, Tracy Hofmann of Virginia Primrose Elementary School.

Ms. Hofmann is in her twelfth year with the Fontana Unified School District.  She is outgoing, student-focused and very bubbly when she's teaching.  She brings concepts to life and gets children excited about learning.  Ms. Hofmann is a leader within her grade level and her school site.  She is knowledgeable about the essential standards, for instance when the district Math Pacing Guides came out, she took a lead in revising the Pacing Guide to be aligned to the report card and the essential standards for math.  She is presently on the math leadership team at the district level and led her school's science fair and math competitions.  Ms. Hofmann takes time to listen to parents so that their children can be successful in the classroom.  Last year, the California State Standards Test results for her class were:  Language Arts - 78% were proficient and advanced; Math - 82% were proficient and advanced; and Science - 79% were proficient and advanced.

When her name was announced at the Board Meeting, Ms. Hofmann's eyes welled up with emotion as she accepted the award.  She said, "I am truly honored, proud, and thrilled to become Fontana's Teacher of the Year, even though we are all experiencing transition, confusion, and frustration.  Being chosen by my fellow teachers at Primrose is also an honor, as they are all exceptional at what they do."

The District wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to the Fontana PTA Council for purchasing all the plaques for year's amazing group of teachers.  Board President Laura Abernathy Mancha noted at the Board Meeting, "They have spent close to $1,000 in paying for the plaques for the teachers this evening.  We are all watching our (district and school) budgets closely and we asked them to step-in.  Thank you to the PTA Council from all our schools."

The Fontana Unified School District is committed to recognizing excellence in the teaching profession.  We possess a great number of highly skilled, motivated, and dedicated professionals who deserve to have their achievements recognized.  Congratulations to Tracy Hofmann, FUSD's 2008-09 Teacher of the Year and to all the outstanding Site Teachers of the Year.
