It is a privilege to introduce myself as the new Principal of Edith Rogers School. I am deeply honoured to join this incredible community, and I am looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and working alongside all of our families to make this a wonderful school year.

Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, our entire team is excited to partner with you in supporting your child’s educational journey.

Junior High is a pivotal time of self-discovery, academic growth, and personal development. My commitment to you is that our school will always be a place where your child feels championed, challenged, and supported every single day.

Our school motto—"We are Royals! We all Belong! Join the Pride!"—serves as the foundation for how we learn and grow together each day. To us, being a Royal means:

• Demonstrating our core values of RESPECT, KINDNESS, and RESPONSIBILITY in everything we do.
• Striving for personal excellence while lifting up those around us.
• Embracing our diverse backgrounds and celebrating the common goals that bring us together.

We are dedicated to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every student feels seen, respected, and empowered to succeed.

Every student learns differently, and our team is passionate about meeting kids where they are. We combine strong foundational academics with specialized pathways—including our Cogito program for families seeking an enriched, highly structured environment focused on academic excellence. Whatever path your child is on, we provide the tools, guidance, and high expectations necessary to help them flourish.

Great schools thrive on strong connections. I cannot wait to meet you at our upcoming school events and work closely with you throughout the year. Please always feel free to reach out—my door is open.

Here’s to an extraordinary year ahead!

Warmly,

Mariam Ahmadyar

Principal, Edith Rogers Junior High School
