We are aware of rumours circulating that schools will be open starting October 27th - these rumours are false; all schools remain closed, and all yellow school bus routes will remain suspended until further notice.
As there is no definitive end date, 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.
The Alberta government has provided financial assistance and educational resources for families during the strike. For more information, please visit: https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=9401515033BD2-C28F-D1D4-DC654FCB050863F4

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.
