My name is Mrs. FitzPatrick (commonly called Mrs. Fitz) and I have been at Whisconier Middle School for 21 years. I have loved working with students and families year after year!
When I am not at school, I am home with all my boys...my husband, and sons Liam (age 15), Ryan (age 11) and Matthew (age9). We love being outdoors, family game nights and playing/watching sports.
Middle school can be difficult years. Please do not hesitate to reach out for academic, emotional and/or social support anytime.
My name is Mrs. Jalbert and this will be my 10th year as a School Counselor and my 8th year at Whisconier! Prior to coming to Brookfield I was a high school counselor at Stafford High School and an elementary school counselor in Ansonia. I received my Bachelors Degree from Western Connecticut State University in 2013. I then went on to complete my Masters Degree in 2016 for Counselor Education specializing in School Counseling from Central Connecticut State University. I completed my internship at Cheshire High School where my interest in Mindfulness in education sparked.
I love helping kids! My passion is leading students towards success in three domains: Academic, Career, & Personal/Social. I also enjoy being a part of positive systemic change which fosters innovative learning and meets the needs of the whole child. I am a member of the Connecticut School Counselor Association.
When I am not at school I love to go to the lake in the summer and ski in the winter with my husband, 4 year old daughter Mackenzie and 2 year old daughter Lyla.
Hi, my name is Ms. Trotta and this is my 6th year at Whisconier! I am very excited to welcome the 6th graders to WMS and help them navigate all the transitions and challenges of middle school. I am here for all students and can provide academic, career, and social/emotional support. I love working with students and their families; it is awesome to see so many siblings of students I have previously worked with. When I am not in school, I am practicing self care by painting, exercising, and hanging out with my dog, Winnie. My door is always open so come and see me any time (even if it is to say hi).
