Senior Administrative Assistant

I am Mrs. Ellsworth.  I began in administrative work 30 plus years ago and joined the Fort McMurray Public School Division in 2009.  My favourite move within the division was to Dave McNeilly in 2017.  Helping open our beautiful school was not only a great adventure, it was also the best way to meet our families and students who first called Dave McNeilly home.  Working with our staff, students and families each day is a blessing I treasure.  My favourite thing outside of school is spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and relaxing (knitting, reading, making new memories).

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.
