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.

Interactive Zone Maps for Fort McMurray Public Schools

Each school boundary has two zones pictured:

  1. Catchment: Also known as an enrollment/attendance boundary, this area is pictured as a guideline for students whose residence is within this boundary. Typically, the closest school to the student's residence is the designated school.  Transportation Services are available for students whose residence (home address) is within their designated school boundary. Fees must be paid in full before access to Eligible Transportation will be granted. *Please note, for students enrolled in schools outside of their designated attendance boundary, transportation services are the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
  2. Walk Zone: A User-Pay transportation service is offered to all students if their residence (home address) is between 1.0 and 2.4 km from their designated school provided there is an established yellow school bus route and provided that space is available on the yellow school bus. Students whose residence is within 1.0 km from their designated school but who can walk to a user-pay bus stop may access user-pay services.

Transportation fees and additional information can be found in the FMPSD Joint Transportation Bus Brochure.
