Exciting Update from Mrs. Jackman's Grade 2 Class*!
Grade 2 Pumpkin Life Cycle
Hey everyone! Our little green thumbs in Grade 2 have been on an incredible pumpkin-growing journey since October! After exploring and describing pumpkins, we planted seeds, and guess what? We now have MALE flowers showing off their vibrant colors! The anticipation is building as we eagerly wait for the arrival of FEMALE flowers to kick off the pollination. May this experience deepen our appreciation for the Creator's intricate. design. process!
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.
