Students whose parents are Canadian citizens and whose first language is English and all early learning students born in Canada can register at their neighbourhood school. For more information about registration for Canadian citizens, click here.

Non-Canadian students (or children of non-Canadian parents) need to register with Student Identification Documents so their immigration documents can be reviewed to determine eligibility for publicly funded education in Alberta.

Students in grades 1 to 12 who are new to Fort McMurray Public Schools and whose first language is not English also register online. 

Families are encouraged to register their children in the school that is closest to their home. All schools follow the curriculum set by the Alberta Ministry of Education. For more information about the curriculum, please refer to the Ministry's website. 

Students in ECDP to Grade 12 are placed in a grade that matches their age. Students may receive credit for classes completed outside of Canada, so their grade level will be determined at the school.  

Your child's English-language skills will be assessed at the time of registration. Extra language support may be provided, if necessary, by staff at the school.

Please inform your current school of your move and register at the new school. The school staff will initiate your child’s transfer process to the other school. 

Professional Learning Fridays (PLF) are dedicated sessions designed to foster continuous growth and development among FMPSD staff. The goal of a PLF is to create a structured space where individuals can enhance their skills, stay updated on trends, and collaborate with peers in a productive environment. Students do not attend school during PLFs; the schedule for PLFs is released prior to the start of a new school year.
