Educational Assistant

Phone: 7807431079

Hello! My name is Julie Bursey, although most people know me as Miss Julie. I am an Educational Assistant at Fort McMurray Christian School, where I spend my mornings with Grade 6, and my afternoons with Kindergarten. My two boys also attend FMCS, in Grades 5 and 8, and together we truly cherish being part of this wonderful school community.

I moved to Fort McMurray from Newfoundland in 2006, and now my husband, our two boys, and our three dogs call it home. As a family, we love spending summers camping, and in my spare time I enjoy playing piano, baking, and exploring all things creative and crafty.

This is my third year working at FMCS, but I’ve been part of the school family since my oldest son began ECDP in 2015. I am so grateful to be here and excited for another fantastic year ahead!

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.
