Hello Parents and Students. These unprecedented times, although difficult and stressful, present an opportunity to all of us to slow down, look around and reevaluate what is truly important in our lives. "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending", C.S. Lewis.

  I received my BS in Special Education and MS in Urban Multicultural Education from the College of Mount Saint Vincent. I've been teaching in Yonkers since 1999 and at Gorton High School since 2001. Gorton is my second home and family. I am currently the Resource Teacher to a wonderful group of ninth graders and The Financial Math teacher to another group of awesome students in our Cafe G! In addition to supporting my students with their core subjects, I will be available to help in any way I can between the hours of 9:00AM to 12:30PM and 1:30 to 3:00PM.  You may also email me and I will get back to you.

Students, please log on to Office 365 Portal to find your assignments. Also, please read my class expectations. If you are experiencing difficulty logging on please email me at rrispo@yonkerspublicschools.org. I will be waiting. Be well, stay inside and WASH YOUR HANDS!
