Dear Willingboro Community,

I am honored and excited to join Willingboro Public School District as the new Director of Special Services! It is a privilege to serve a district dedicated to fostering the growth and success of every student, and I am eager to collaborate with our exceptional staff, supportive families, and the wider community to ensure we create an inclusive, enriching, and supportive environment for all our learners.

As a firm believer that every child has brilliance within them, my priority is to build on our strengths and innovate to enhance our programs, resources, and supports. I believe that every child deserves the support of the adults in their lives to grow, feel valued, and be empowered to reach their full potential. I appreciate the depth and richness of the Willingboro community and hope to only add value to the greatness happening here.

I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks as I familiarize myself with the district.

Thank you for the warm welcome into this wonderful community. I am truly excited to begin this journey with you all.

Warm regards,

Jennifer Barrientos

Director of Special Services
