Mrs. Erica Merritt (Cipriano)

I am so excited that you are in my class this year! I am going to do my very best to make 6th grade an experience you won't ever forget. I am extremely organized, I crave routine, and I am always up for a challenge. I am your teacher first, but I will try to help you in any way I can. 

I graduated from Pace University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education and an extension in Spanish. I graduated from College of New Rochelle with a Master’s Degree In Reading. This is my 25th year of teaching, and all of them have been in Yonkers Public Schools at Robert C. Dodson. I have taught third, fifth, and sixth grades through the years, but sixth is my absolute favorite. I love to read, and I hope that my love of reading will rub off on you!

I have been married for 17 years and I have three children...two sons and one daughter. I also have two dogs whom I love very much! In my free time, I enjoy running outdoors, reading, shopping, and hanging out with my family and friends.
