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.

Status of Operations on Day of Mourning (Sept. 19, 2022)

Posted on: News Release

(September 14, 2022) In recognition of the passing of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Alberta government has announced Sept. 19, the date of Her Royal Majesty's funeral, will be a provincial day of mourning instead of a statutory holiday.

As a result, all 16 of the Division's elementary schools, secondary schools and all Division facilities will remain open on Monday, Sept. 19 for the day.

The day will be observed by provincial public-sector employees, including teachers, principals and all Division staff.

In a release by Premier Jason Kenney, schools are encouraged to “observe a moment of silence at 10:00 am in memory of our late Queen and encourage employers, schools and others to find suitable ways to mark this sombre and historic moment in the life of Canada and the Commonwealth.”

For more information, please see the provincial statement that the Premier issued.
