My name is Abaa Alerbawy and this is my second year working as an Education Assistant with the Ecole Mactvish high school. I’m originally from Iraq and moved to Fort McMurray in 2008. I have three children two teenage boys and one baby girl. They are the light of my life ! I enjoy watching and playing soccer with my boys, travelling and walking in nature. I also enjoy helping students and support them to achieve their goals, and I’m looking forward to another successful year at Ecole Mctavish!

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.
