Library

Our school librarian, Nush Mootoosamy, does a fabulous job keeping our library updated and organized.  All classes have a scheduled time each week to exchange books.  The library is set up so that students and Educational Assistants can use the space as a quiet working space throughout the day. Our library is in transition to becoming a Learning Commons area where students will be encouraged to collaborate and experiment with different learning methods and techniques. We love our library at Thickwood Heights!

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.
