Phone: 780-790-1100

I’m Jenn Pope, and I've been proudly serving as a school counsellor at McTavish since January 2022. Although originally from Newfoundland, Fort McMurray has been my home since 2008, when I first arrived to teach high school. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four furry companions. Outside of my professional life, I love travelling, diving into books, staying active, and, of course, relishing in all the delightful snacks.

 

Being part of the Ecole McTavish team is a privilege that fills me with gratitude. My journey towards completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology is nearly at its end, a pursuit that equips me to better support young individuals navigating mental health challenges. I am dedicated to creating a safe space for youth as they navigate through the complexities of life. In addition, I am also involved in academic counselling for our high school students.

 

I'm excited to continue fostering a positive impact at Ecole McTavish, contributing to the growth and well-being of our students and the broader school community.

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.
