Jennifer Armocida – Omega Social Studies

Jenny came to Rainbow as the lead 6th-grade teacher, creating a wonderful foundation for supporting the diverse learning needs of adolescent students for eight years. In 2021, Jenny transitioned from teaching sixth grade to serving as a Student Support Advocate, enriching the Omega experience for our students in the support program. Jenny is thrilled to resume classroom teaching in the fall of 2025, bringing her energetic and joyous teaching style to the Omega 7/8 Social Studies classroom. 

Jenny develops close relationships with students and creates a positive classroom culture. She is talented at following students’ interests and skilled at encouraging students to produce work they never thought possible. Jenny has the flexibility, good humor, and huge heart to roll with middle school student’s quirks and emotions. She works with each of her students to develop the mind set, systems and strategies that will allow them to flourish.

Jenny is originally from Ohio. Before moving to Ashevillle in 2013, she lived in the beautiful Hudson River Valley of New York, where she taught fifth grade at Blue Rock School – a private school that is remarkably similar to Rainbow!  Jenny enjoys spending time with her family, reading, writing, crafting, and exploring the creative, natural, and culinary beauty of Asheville.
