Today we send out a heartfelt thank you to local senior Shirley Sparkes for taking the time to participate in our Rejoice in Reading event by reading to our students at school.Mrs. Sparkes shared two classic stories over the course of the afternoon with 4 of our classes. Her presence brought a gentle warmth to our library and her engaging story-telling made it easy to see that she was once a school teacher! Thank you again Mrs. Sparkes for sharing your 'spark' with our students!
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.
