As we approach Orange Shirt Day on Friday, we stand together in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, remembering that every child is a precious gift from God. Orange Shirt Day reminds us that "Every Child Matters," honoring the survivors of residential schools and those children who never returned home.
This Friday, we will wear orange in solidarity, standing for the dignity, value, and importance of every child. Together, we pray for a future rooted in Christ's love, where grace, justice, and compassion lead us toward reconciliation and healing.
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.
