My name is Erin Tripo and I am a Physical Education teacher. I am very excited to be a part of the P.S. 68 family and community. I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from St. John’s University and my master’s degree in Reading Specialist from St. John’s University. I have been teaching since 2001 and have been with the Department of Education since 2003.

I taught at PS44, PS8, & PS56. I taught 1st grade for most of my career but have experience in all of the grades K-5. My mission is to create a safe learning environment in which all students can learn to their highest potential. All students can learn and can be successful. I foster respect and responsibility in my classroom, all while having fun!

I look forward to growing with the P.S. 68 family and community. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family and friends. I especially love spending time with my husband, Dan, my two children, Daniel & Ava and my 2 dogs, Buddy & Tucker.
