My name is Tara Atalifo, also known around the school as Ms.Tara. This will be my sixth year working at FMCS as an Educational Assistant. I am excited to be working with the grade four-five students this year. 

I moved to Fort McMurray from beautiful Victoria BC in 2008 with my husband and our son Junoir. In 2010 our daughter Luvenia was born here in Fort McMurray. My family and I love to travel and we are always ready to take on new adventures. 

I am blessed to be a part of our awesome FMCS staff and I am excited for the year ahead. 

“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
