(Fort McMurray, AB - March 15th, 2025) Today we are happy to share that we were able to end our week negotiating a resolution with CUPE Local 2545.
A ratification vote will take place on Monday, and we are hopeful that regular classes will continue on Wednesday for all students. Parents should still plan on following the Monday and Tuesday contingency plans.
Further updates will follow as soon as we get the results of the ratification vote.

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.
