Fort McMurray Public School Division Administrative Procedures

Our division’s Administrative Procedures (APs) provide clear direction to ensure schools operate smoothly and consistently. They outline the expectations, processes, and guidelines that support daily decision-making, helping staff align their work with division priorities and provincial requirements. By following these procedures, all staff contribute to fairness, clarity, and consistency across schools, creating a supportive and effective learning environment for students.

Please follow the link for all FMPSD APs, and below for select APs:

Hot Lunch Program

Hot Lunch Program

We are currently working with the Ravens Society to set up the Hot Lunch Program for the 2025-2026 school year. For more information, please contact wagforshotlunch@gmail.com.

To register your child for Hot Lunch, please create an account at wghps.hotlunches.net with access code "HILLHL". 

Typically, deadline for ordering will be the 20th of every month for the next month.


Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Student Leaders, we have translated our hot lunch documents into a few different languages. The intention of these translated documents was to support all families with ordering. As AI and Student Leaders supported this initiative, we acknowledge that these documents may not be direct translations.

Languages included on this document: Vietnamese, Punjabi, Somali, Gujarati, and Urdu.

Volunteering at WGH

GET INVOLVED, STAY CONNECTED 

Why Volunteer?

  • Help is always needed and appreciated by the council, your children, the teachers and the entire WGH School Community!
  • It keeps you in tune to your child’s school life.
  • Children learn what they see; it’s important for our kids to see us helping out.
  • It’s a great way to meet other parents and the staff at your child’s school to build a stronger school community. 

Criminal Record Check

A criminal record check is required to volunteer in class, in the school and on field trips. Please come to the school and ask the office for a form to be completed for a CRC at the RCMP detachment.

 

Insurance

FMPSD now offers voluntary accident insurance through Kidsinsured. This is an option for families to purchase an annual plan that can supplement costs not covered by provincial health insurance or existing employer extended health and dental plans. This is separate from the Blanket Insurance under our policy that we offer to cover expenses outside family benefit plans when a student is injured at school or during school-sanctioned events.

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.
