English Language Learners

Rosetta Stone: is a fast and easy way to get your ELL students speaking, reading, writing and understanding English. Because Rosetta Stone is immersion-based, it can be integrated into bilingual, dual immersion or limited English proficiency programs.

Rosetta Stone stands apart because it focuses on ELL learners’ innate strengths. We all rely on our visual sense to understand the world, and that’s precisely where Rosetta Stone starts. It moves students through a carefully structured sequence of pictures, encouraging them to associate images they understand with words that they don’t.

Rosetta Stone works because that’s exactly the way we learned our first language. We call this Dynamic Immersion.

Our method works because it’s:

  • intuitive
  • interactive
  • visually engaging

With Rosetta Stone, your ELL students will never:

  • translate
  • memorize
  • see lists of words

Rosetta Stone gives students learning English the advantage of being immersed in the language from the moment they start using the program.

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.
