This year's return to classes will once again feature staggered entry. On the week of August 29 students will only attend school on the day that corresponds with their grade. The schedule will be as follows:
August 29 - Grade 7
August 30 - Grades 8 & 9
August 31 - Grades 10 & 11
September 1 - Grade 12
September 6 will be the first regular day of classes for ALL grades, and the start of semester 1.
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.
