Hi everyone! I am Mrs. Gropack. I am so excited to be teaching at Hillside! 

I earned my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from SUNY Old Westbury and my Masters degree in Special Education from Touro University. I taught 4th and 1st grade in New York City for 5 years but this is my first year teaching in New Jersey. My family moved from New York City to New Jersey. I have a daughter, Mayson, who is 9 months old. I am originally from Long Island but absolutely love living and working in New Jersey.
