Meet Ms. Jenna Rigon, NEW School Counselor!!!
My name is Jenna Rigon and I am proud to join the Barbieri community as a School Adjustment Counselor! I am from Littleton, MA, received a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Communications from Stonehill College, and graduated with my Master’s in School Adjustment Counseling from Assumption University. Before joining Framingham Public, I worked in communities like Lowell, Concord, and Wellesley as a paraprofessional, summer camp director, and afterschool site-coordinator. I am eager to meet the Barbieri students, teachers, and families, and I look forward to collaborating on ways to best support student education and growth in and out of school. Outside of work, I enjoy attending concerts and music festivals, exploring nature, and spending time with family and friends. I am excited to learn from others, incorporate student strengths and interests, and begin my career at Barbieri Elementary School.
Ms. Rigon will join the Barbieri Support Team, and our whole Barbieri Family, to support Ms. Segel's maternity leave. Please join me in welcoming her to our community! SHE STARTS MONDAY 3/25/24!

NO MOBILE DEVICES DURING TESTING 📱📵⌚
During testing ALL MOBILE DEVICES ARE PROHIBTED. This includes cell phones and apple watches, etc. Please be sure that you discuss with your child that if they chose to still bring these devices to school they will need to give these devices to their classroom teacher/testing proctor BEFORE testing begins and they will receive them AFTER the testing session has ended. This is a non-negotiable. If any device is set off (rings, vibrates, etc.) during testing we risk having to invalidate tests.
Thank you for all of your support at home and for understanding!
