Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to provide you with the latest updates regarding the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) strike vote and its potential impact on our school community.
The Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) and the ATA have successfully reached a tentative agreement during central negotiations. The ATA’s ratification vote is scheduled to take place from September 27-29, 2025, with TEBA’s ratification process to follow shortly thereafter.
We will continue to keep you informed with timely and accurate updates as new information becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

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.
