Next year, as part of our education plan for the school, we will be raising awareness and implementing steps around the importance of social, emotional, and mental health of our staff, families, and students. As a starting point we participated in the Men's Mental Health Awareness March that is happened on June 9th. We did this in conjunction with many of our families and churches such as Daystar Chapel, McMurray Gospel Assembly and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We were also excited to have Councilor Jane Stroud from the RMWB be there to speak on behalf of the municipality.
It was a great time to build community and raise awareness to this important cause.
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.
