Grade 3

Hi! My name is Mrs. Gillam and I have been teaching with FMPSD since 2013.
I started my teaching career in Northern Saskatchewan before making the move to Fort McMurray to be closer to family.
Since moving here, I met my husband and we have been blessed with two beautiful children. 
I have taught a variety of grade levels throughout my career and I am thrilled to be a part of the Dave McNeilly team!

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.
