My name is Laura Gillis, I have a Bachelors of Science and a Bachelor of Education. I am excited to be a part of the McTavish community, and I am looking forward to sharing my love of learning and love of science with the students this year. 

My classroom is a safe environment for students where students will be encouraged to do their best, to share and learn from one another, ask questions, and develop habits of a life learner.

Passions: Art, music, kayaking, and skiing.

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.
