Students in grade 7 stay on school grounds during lunch time. The grade 8 students will be able to leave school grounds for lunch, after teacher convention. Grade 9-12 students will be able to leave campus for lunch. We have plenty of seating in our atrium area, classrooms, and hallways. Students must clean up after themselves and homerooms take turns setting up and taking down the tables at lunch time.
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.
