RAP Program

The Registered Apprenticeship Program enables senior high school students, over the age of 15, the opportunity to start an apprenticeship program while still attending high school.

 

Students who choose to participate in this program must maintain an overall academic average of 65% or greater and must have excellent school attendance and conduct.

 

These opportunities allow students to gain real hands-on experience in their trade of choice and complete their 1st year apprenticeship while in high school. Therefore, these students need to be very mature, determined and focused.

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.
