Inclusive Education Programs

At WGH we have highly-trained and experienced staff to look after our students with exceptionalities. Our school is equipped with wheelchair ramps for accessibility, as well as a handicap washroom.

We also offer Program Unit Funding (PUF) programming, which is available for students identified with speech, gross motor and fine motor challenges in Early Childhood Education. Student progress is closely monitored through an Individualized Program Plan and supported by staff members and specialists. Students involved in the PUF program are fully included within the classroom.

Sensory Room

Students who require sensory breaks throughout the day are supported within the Sensory Room. The Sensory Room includes calming visual, physical and tactile activities.

The sensory room is furnished with items to help students regulate their emotions and provide movement to center their energy. Some of these items include:

swings
trampolines
spinning chairs, rocking chairs, bean bag chairs
other alternative seating
"dark" room with low-light
bubble tube
noise-cancelling headphones
soft music
weighted blankets
tactile objects such as stress balls, feathers
manipulative objects and fidgets

We acknowledge that students have multiple sensory needs and therefore we also provide classroom-based activities and items that aid in regulation; such as noise-cancelling headphones, sensory bins, calming kits, etc.

Please check out our video below, narrated by our very own students, explaining the value of the sensory rooms.

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.
