Meet Ms. Cipollini

Dear Tenakill Families,

Welcome to a new school year at TMS! I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new Principal and look forward to building a strong partnership with each of you. Prior to becoming Principal, I have had the privilege of working in various educational roles that have shaped my understanding of student needs and effective teaching practices. I began my journey as both a middle school special education and math teacher. In addition to these roles I served as the Supervisor of Personnel and Staff Development, and most recently Pre-K to 8th grade assistant principal.

In addition to my professional background, I am passionate about running half marathons. This hobby not only keeps me active, but allows me to explore new places and teaches me the value of perseverance and goal-setting - qualities I hope to inspire in our students. I hold Master’s Degrees in Curriculum and Teaching as well Educational Leadership, and I am committed to lifelong learning both personally and professionally.

At TMS we strive to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Together, we will focus on academic excellence, personal growth, and community involvement.

We value your involvement in our school community. There are numerous ways to get engaged, and your support makes a significant difference! I am excited to embark on this journey with you and your children. Together, we can create a positive and enriching school experience. Thank you for your trust and support as we work together to make this year a success.

Warm Regards,

Christi Cipollini

Principal
