Grade 4

Hello! My name is Leah Marler and I am so excited to be teaching Grade 4 at Walter and Gladys Hill School this year. I’ve spent 5 years teaching in many different areas including Alberta, British Columbia as well as internationally in Bahrain where I’ve worked with students from Kindergarten through Grade 5. I’m thrilled to now be part of the Fort McMurray Public School Division.

Outside of school, I enjoy traveling (often solo!), reading, and spending time outdoors. I grew up on a farm outside of Camrose, Alberta where we had all kinds of animals including peacocks, donkeys, sheep, horses, ducks and lots of kittens!!

I feel so fortunate to be part of the wonderful community at Walter and Gladys Hill and am looking forward to a great year ahead!

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.
