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.

Alberta Education Assurance (AEA) Survey

Posted on: General News

Each year, Alberta Education surveys students, their parents, and all teachers on behalf of schools and school authorities to gather important information on what is working well and where there is room for improvement. The survey asks students in G​rades 4, 7 and 10 and their parents about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in school. This year’s survey is online and is open through March 2024.

Alberta’s Assurance Framework requires school authorities across the province to report their performance according to a number of different measures that provide vital information about how the education system is doing. More information is available in the Alberta Education Assurance Survey Parent Letter. 

Survey Details

  • To complete the survey, parents/guardians are issued a single-use Random Access Code (RAC) from Alberta Education mailed through Canada Post.

  • This code must be used to access the survey. Look out for the survey in​vitation package in the mail late January, with the survey code.

  • Parents with more than one student in the relevant survey grades will receive a separate package and RAC for each child.

  • Surveys are completed electronically and are anonymous.

  • Paper copies of the survey can also be requested through your school principal.

If you have any questions, please contact the principal of your child’s school.
