NEW!! From Mr. Tuckwood - No Visiting Other Schools After Dismissal
This is a gentle reminder that our school schedule includes early dismissal each Wednesday; however, this does not apply to all schools in our district. Specifically, the neighbouring junior highs and elementary schools do not have early out on Wednesdays.
With this difference in schedules in mind, we kindly request that you do not visit other schools in the district after our early dismissal tomorrow. It is important that we respect the schedules and operations of these other schools and allow them to conduct their activities without disruption.
Please plan to go directly home or to your after-school activities rather than visiting local junior highs or elementary schools.
NEW!! Starting next week – the Daily Bulletin will be emailed to all students!
NEW!! Good morning! Here’s our Terry Fox Fast Fact of the Day. After 143 days of running a marathon every day, Terry was forced to stop outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario, because his cancer had spread to his lungs. There were many offers to finish the run for him, but Terry refused them all – including one from the Toronto Maple Leafs – because he was absolutely determined to get better and finish it himself. The more we learn about Terry, the more inspired we become to raise money for a world without cancer. Share today’s Fast Fact with your friends and family when you ask them to donate! To donate we have QR codes around the building.
For the Terry Fox Run tomorrow, if you are an Avid Runner please come see Mr. H at lunch today to sign up for a longer run in order to be able to get a permission form to participate. Cross country team should all come sign up.
GO STING GO!
“Welcome to Fort High! Are you interested in joining a supportive, inclusive space where everyone can be themselves, share ideas, and build lasting friendships? Come check out our GSA group – we are meeting on Wednesdays at lunch in room 53! Hope to see you there!”
Please be aware that blue bins around the school are for CANS ONLY for our Goals and Steps students.

Grades 4-12: Young Reader's Choice Award Sessions
The Young Reader's Choice Award (YRCA) is an annual international children's book award that began in 1940. Parents, teachers, librarians and students can nominate books for selection, but only students in grades four through twelve can vote! There are three divisions: Junior (gr 4-6), Intermediate (gr 7-9) and Senior (gr 10-12). Voting starts now and ends April 15, 2025 so let the reading begin!
We are offering in-person YRCA presentations featuring this year’s books to be held in your library or gym. The presentation takes 15-25 minutes.
There is also a virtual YRCA presentation option. You will receive bookmarks, Q&A sheets for teachers, prize buttons and a link to the presentations. Viewed in class, this will take approximately 15 minutes.
Contact Donna McDonnell, Youth Literacy Specialist, at dmcdonnell@fspl.ca or 780-912-2154 to book your in-person or virtual YRCA visit this fall.
preK to Grade 12: Read-In Week (AKA our favourite books!)
The Fort Saskatchewan Public Library can also visit your students during Read-In Week, a special time dedicated to literacy and the love of reading! You can book us to share our favourite read-alouds with your classroom, daycare, preschool or other K-12 age setting. Read-In visits can accommodate your schedule and group and can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes long. This year, Read-In Week runs from Oct 7-11, but we can visit at another time in October if that works better.
Contact Emily Springer, Community Literacy Librarian, at espringer@fspl.ca or 825-208-0074 to book us during Read-In Week or another time in October.
