Principal's Letter
To the Rogers Middle School, our Families and our Community:
Greetings, I come to you with sheer excitement!!
As the new Principal of Rogers Middle School, I first and foremost want to share how honored I am to have the opportunity to inspire, motivate, and encourage every member in this district and community toward continued excellence. The West Irondequoit Central School District, and Rogers Middle School, capture the essence of what it means to be a life-long learner, by always pushing beyond the expectations, overcoming challenges, creating a family environment for staff, students, and community members, and ensuring that learning is at the core of every decision. Having the opportunity to serve on the leadership team at West Irondequoit, I will bring to the table the passion, motivation and an unending belief that all children can learn. I will continue to push Rogers Middle School by growing every student and staff member, every day, and making it a priority to meet each person’s individual needs. I will work to ensure the curriculum and instruction we are providing is the best we can deliver to our students to include cultural responsiveness and proficiency. I will ensure that all students receive access, opportunity and are included no matter their background, identification, or ethnicity. I will work with my team to involve all stakeholders: students, staff, families, and the community. To get the work done, we must do it together! Let’s bring Rogers from good to great, great to excellent, from excellent to extraordinary!
Sincerely,
Dr. Christine Richards
Principal

LEAD TEACHER LETTER
Greetings, Rogers Families!
I am thrilled to join our Rogers team this year! While I am new to Rogers this year, I am not new to West Irondequoit. For 16 years, I was a Science teacher at Dake and spent the last two as the Director of our Teaching Learning Center. Through my role as lead teacher, I will work closely with our teachers to support all students, assist with the day-to-day operations of the school, coordinate special events and, partner with our families. I am looking forward to our continued communication to make this a great year!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Laura Westerman
