Phone: 780-790-1100

Hello, my name is Mark Dolmont and I am excited to be returning for my third year as the principal at École McTavish School.

I am originally from Nova Scotia where I was born and raised, but now consider Fort McMurray my home. I attended St. Francis Xavier University where I received both my Bachelor of Science as well as my Bachelor of Education degrees.  Following my experiences at STFX, I attended the University of New Brunswick where I obtained a master's degree. After a ten year hiatus, I have returned to school and have recently finished a Doctor of Educational Leadership from Western University. Education has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy the challenge of learning new things.

I arrived in Fort McMurray in 2008 and had taught at Father Patrick Mercredi Community High School for 9 years, as well as being the vice-principal of the Fort McMurray Islamic School and Ecole Dickinsfield. During this time I have also had the opportunity to be an instructor for the education department at Keyano College. 

My wife Julie and I are proud parents of our hilarious 8-year-old son Levi who is a ball of energy. We love living in this community and look forward to being a part of the Marauder family.

If you have any concerns please don't hesitate to contact me either through email or by scheduling a meeting. I look forward to working with the students, staff, parents, and community members involved with École McTavish School. I know this is going to be a great year!

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.
