Congratulations to Westwood Robotics on earning a spot at the VEX Robotics World Championship this April!  Students from Westwood's team Rocket 221X will travel to Dallas to compete against  teams from around the world.  

Westwood's team consists of Harshit Malla, Ved Lakkad, Ved Bhowmik, Ansh Ramani, and Sparsh Shah.  Together they have worked to build, program and pilot the robots they will be taking to World's.  Behind every successful team is a group of mentors.

Division Notice

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.
