Stafford Township Police Department

The Stafford Township School District is a K-6 district located in Stafford Township, Ocean County, NJ. The district consists of five separate buildings serving a student population of approximately 2,400 pupils in Grades Pre-K through 6th Grade. Our newest building, the Primary Learning Center (PLC), was completed and opened in September 2006. The Oxycocus School serves pupils in Pre-K and our Primary Learning center serves Kindergarten students from throughout the district. The Ocean Acres School serves children in grades 1 and 2. The McKinley Ave. School serves students in grades 3 and 4, and the Intermediate School serves students in grades 5 and 6. A new addition physically connecting the McKinley Ave School and the Intermediate School was completed during the 2005-2006 school year. This "connector wing" provided over 10 additional classrooms, including Distance Learning and Synergistic labs. The addition of the PLC and the "connector" wing classrooms allowed for significant class size reduction to benefit the learning of all of our students. As part of the "connector" construction process, an auditorium with a seating capacity of approximately 800 was included in the plans and was also completed during the 2005-2006 School Year. A direct bonus to the Stafford Community as a whole was the inclusion of the Stafford Township Education Foundation, which has provided significant lighting and sound upgrades to the auditorium at no cost to the taxpayers.
