JC SESS Family Newsletter

Hi! I am Ms. Trimboli, and I am so happy to be here at JC! I absolutely love helping children navigate their feelings and supporting them to discover their fullest potential. My family and I live in Norwalk—which includes my husband, our two daughters, and our rescue dog. We love going to the beach, trying new foods, and spending weekends at the dog park. I can't wait for a fantastic school year together!

My name is Olivia Howard and I am so excited to be joining the Julian Curtiss team as a special education teacher. I look forward to getting to know the students, building meaningful relationships with families, and collaborating with colleagues to help each child reach their full potential. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful community. I'm looking forward to a fantastic year ahead.

Hi everyone! I’m Mia Koulopoulos, and I am the new Speech-Language Pathologist at Julian Curtiss. I recently graduated with my Master's in Speech-Language Pathology and am so excited to start my journey here supporting our students' speech, language, and confidence. Outside of school, you can find me at the farmer's market or hiking with my dog. I'm looking forward to working with you all!

Welcome to the new school year! My name is Jessica Livingston, and I am one of Julian Curtiss' School Social Workers. I have been a part of the Greenwich Public Schools community for six years, and this year, I am in a split position supporting both Julian Curtiss School and Old Greenwich School.

As a School Social Worker, my primary goal is to support the social, emotional, and academic success of every child. I partner closely with students, families, teachers, and administrators to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.

I love to spend time with my family, especially my two children ages nine and six. I love to take my children on adventures to the beach, playground and out in nature. I enjoy playing beach volleyball in the spring and summer.

I will be working with students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade this year! This is my 12th year at Julian Curtiss, and I especially love teaching writing. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year and to learning from the many new faces joining our team!

Hello JC families! My name is Shantal Jackson, and this is my fifth year supporting the JC school community as a Special Education Teacher, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and member of the district's SESS Behavior Team. Working across multiple schools, my consultation-based role supports school teams and families through the school planning team referral process. I specialize in providing targeted support for students receiving Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services, as well as collaborating on Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) for students with significant behavioral needs.

My name is Renay Williams. This is my second year at Julian Curtis school. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The State University of New York at Potsdam and went on to complete both my master’s degree and Sixth-Year Certificate in School Psychology at Southern Connecticut State University. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with students from early childhood through high school in both urban and suburban school districts. These experiences have deepened my commitment to supporting students' learning, social-emotional well-being, and personal growth. Outside professional life, I enjoy traveling, cooking, going to the gym, and most of all, spending time with my family. I am looking forward to getting to know the students, staff, and families of Julian Curtiss and working together to build a supportive and successful school year.

This is my third year in Julian Curtiss. I am working with 1st and 3rd grade this year. I previously worked in NYC public school for the Department of Education in the Bronx. I previously taught a 12:1 classroom for students with disabilities for 5 years.

Fun Fact: I just got married over the summer!

Welcome to a new school year at Julian Curtiss! My name is Rebecca Cadotte, and I am thrilled to be one of the Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) supporting your children this year.

With over a decade of experience in children’s communication development, I am incredibly proud to be starting my tenth year with Greenwich Public Schools. I am fully licensed in both Connecticut and New York, holding my Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA alongside specialized state educator certifications.

I believe that the most effective therapy is both functional and fun. By incorporating engaging, play-based, and multisensory activities into our sessions, I strive to meet each child’s unique needs while keeping them motivated. My ultimate goal is to help every student confidently achieve their communication potential, and I look forward to partnering with your family this year!
