English & Social Studies

My name is Cheyenne Maher-Zelenka.

I recently moved to Fort McMurray from Cold Lake with my husband and two cats, Stella and Possum. Other than cats, I love baking, reading, traveling, playing games on my computer, and listening to Taylor Swift. The trip I can never “top” was seeing the Eras Tour in Stockholm, Sweden with my friend.

I attended the University of Alberta where I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and an after-degree in Secondary Education.

I’m looking forward to teaching English and Social Studies this school year. I’m very excited to get to work with Jr High again and I have some exciting things planned!

Go Marauders!

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.
