Principal’s Welcome to the Mount Sinai Middle School Website

July 2024

Hello Mount Sinai Middle School Families and Students!

I extend a warm welcome to each of you as we anticipate the start of an exciting new school year at Mount Sinai Middle School!  My name is Chris Elsesser and I am honored to serve as your new Principal.  Returning to the community where I began my educational journey as a K-12 Mount Sinai student fills me with immense pride and enthusiasm.

With nearly 17 years in education, including roles as a high school business teacher and assistant principal, I bring a deep commitment to nurturing a positive, engaging, and inclusive learning environment.  My own experiences as a student here have shaped my dedication to maintaining and enhancing our district's tradition of being “the best in learning and living” throughout our building.  

At Mount Sinai Middle School, we are dedicated to fostering not only academic success but also the personal growth and well-being of every student. Together with our dedicated staff and supportive community, my goal is to ensure that each student enjoys a fulfilling and memorable middle school experience and embraces the special nature of living and celebrating #MustangPride. 

Family is central to my life, and I am committed to fostering strong partnerships between school and home. Together, we will celebrate our shared values and support the academic and personal growth of our students, preparing them for future success.

As we approach the start of the school year, I encourage you to stay informed through our new ParentSquare platform.  I look forward to sharing more details about ParentSquare and the new school year with you during the month of August.  Feel free to check back often for updates!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or simply to introduce yourself.  I can be reached via email at celsesser@mtsinai.k12.ny.us or telephone at (631)870-2700.  I am here to listen and collaborate with you to ensure that your child thrives at Mount Sinai Middle School.

Wishing you all a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable remainder of the summer.

Warm regards,

Christopher H. Elsesser
Principal
