Grade 2 students and their grade 5 buddies successfully concluded their Legacy Water FleX project with a meaningful water walk. Together, they filled buckets with water and embarked on a walk around the school grounds, demonstrating their support for the Legacy Water Foundation and raising awareness for individuals who lack access to clean, drinkable water. This engaging activity provided students with a firsthand experience of the challenges involved in carrying buckets of water, fostering a deep appreciation for the precious gift of clean water that we are fortunate to have here in Fort McMurray.
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.
