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.

Part A Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) Cancelled

Posted on: General News

Dear FMPSD Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you of an important change regarding the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) scheduled for this week.

Due to the ongoing State of Local Emergency caused by the Wildfire alert, the Part A Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs), which were set to take place from May 13-17, have been cancelled. We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please note that this cancellation applies only to the PATs scheduled for this week. The remaining Provincial Achievement Tests will proceed as planned in June. We will continue to prepare our students for these important assessments and ensure they are well-equipped to succeed.

Thank you,

Office of the Superintendent
