Indigenous Education

First Nations, Metis, Inuit Education

Alberta Education is committed to improving education outcomes for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students and to closing the gap in education achievement between Indigenous students and other students. We work with Indigenous leaders to engage parents and families to support student success through partnerships with schools, and by developing culturally relevant programs, resources and student supports. Students volunteer in the community and create community partnerships. Students are also exposed to many things about their culture via hands-on-activities and visits with elders and community members. We also have several Family Feasts here at the school throughout the year. Please contact sage.mitchell@fmpsd.ab.ca for more information.

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.
