JH/SH Foods, Psychology & Yoga

My name is Stephanie McFarland, and I'm excited to be back for another year at École McTavish! I have been a teacher with FMPSD since 2006 and have worked at École McTavish since 2011. I currently teach Psychology, Yoga, and Food Studies in High School as well as Junior High Food Studies. 
 
I was born in Camrose, Alberta, but have lived in many places around Alberta and Northern British Columbia. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in English at the University of Lethbridge and a Bachelor of Education at the University of Alberta. Reading, baking, yoga, and long dog walks are my favourite hobbies.

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.
