Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at Londonderry School!
I am thrilled to have the privilege of working alongside you to educate and nurture your children. Our team of dedicated educators are committed to creating a welcoming, safe and engaging learning environment where your child can learn, grow and succeed.
At Londonderry Junior High School we believe every child can be successful. Complementing our commitment to academic excellence, we place high value on the importance of providing a caring, nurturing and supportive environment for learning. This environment includes expectations which encourage personal responsibility, respect and empathy for all individuals. Our multicultural population shapes the character of our school, providing a stimulating and rich learning environment.
We believe our greatest gift is the diversity of our students and community. We celebrate our students by creating a caring school that fosters a sense of belonging for all students, where every child can flourish and feel proud of themselves. We value and embrace classrooms which are diverse in worldview, culture, language and interests. We encourage our students to believe that they are capable of growing academically, socially and emotionally, that all children can experience success.
Our parent community is vital in the success of all our students. We strive to build strong and supportive relationships between staff, students and families, knowing this is key in determining the level of success achieved by our students.
I believe learning is a dynamic journey, filled with successes and challenges. Every student brings their own unique set of strengths, interests and learning styles that should be acknowledged and embraced. Our goal is to help students see mistakes not as failures, but as an essential part of the learning process, cultivating a growth mindset.
At Londonderry our positive environment allows students to feel comfortable taking risks in their learning. We work collaboratively to build confident and resilient learners, and take collective responsibility for all of our students, ensuring they receive the support they need to be successful. We believe that all children can reach their potential with guidance and hard work and know it does not matter where they start but where they finish.
Londonderry is a Division site for the Academic Enrichment, Opportunity, Interactions and the Mandarin Bilingual programs. We also offer additional support classes in Math and Language Arts which are available for students requiring additional assistance in those subject areas.
We are committed to building relationships with families and the community, in a climate of mutual trust and respect. It takes a village to support a child in their education journey. Communication is key, and I encourage you to stay connected with us through regular communication channels such as our website, newsletters and SchoolZone. Please feel free to contact us at 780-473-4560.
On behalf of the entire Londonderry School family, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for entrusting us with your children’s education. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, supporting each other every step of the way.
Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with growth, laughter, and celebrations!
In Partnership,
Ronali Ferguson, Principal
