Dina O'Brien

My name is Mrs. O’Brien, and I am thrilled to start my 25th year of teaching in Ridgefield Public Schools. Currently, I teach 1st-grade In-Class Support at Bergen Boulevard School. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Rehabilitative Services for Adults with Disabilities from East Stroudsburg University and my Master’s Degree in Special Education from William Paterson University. 

I truly care about creating a classroom where students feel safe, have fun, and grow both academically and socially. Every student learns differently, which is why I approach teaching each student with a hands-on and differentiated teaching style.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy skiing, swimming, and vacationing together.
