This is a reminder that tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day and we are working to spread kindness is our school community and beyond! Wear pink to promote having a welcoming, inclusive and supportive school for all of our Thunderbirds. Students can complete a Thickwood Kindness Bingo and submit to Student Council on Wednesday to win pink shirts. We are also collecting socks for the Center of Hope to Spread Kindness in our Community.
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.
