Last week, during our homegroup time, students learned all about silviculturalists (forest managers) and how they take care of the forest.We connected this to our school-wide Storyline of being Rooted In Christ and how not only can we care for our own faith, but we can also help those around us with our actions and how we treat others.
We then built the Fort McMurray Christian School Forest with students colouring a tree and including one throughline that they think they do really well. Be sure to ask your kids about it!
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.
