APEGA members in Fort McMurray have hosted elementary science nights in many schools in the past. Science nights are an evening of fun, hands-on science activities and engaging demonstrations aimed at building an early interest in STEM curriculum to your students. While the target audience are students in Grades 1 to 6, teachers and other adults alike usually have as much fun participating as well.
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.
