English & Social Studies

Hi there! My name is Grace Gillis, I am new to Fort McMurray and thrilled to join the École McTavish community. I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with strong family ties to Cape Breton. This summer, I am driving across the country to make the move to Fort McMurray! 

When I am not teaching, I enjoy travelling, going to concerts, sporting events, and spending time with friends and family. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and English at St.FX, where I then completed my Bachelor of Education. 

I can't wait to build positive connections with students this school year and grow my skills as a teacher. Here's to an exciting academic journey ahead!

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.
