As-Salaam-Alaikum FMIS community!

My name is Fathima Mawahir, and I am delighted to teach grade 6 and junior high options here at FMIS. Originally from Sri Lanka, I have proudly called Fort McMurray home for the past seven years. I hold a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Alberta, and this marks my second year with FMIS.

My teaching philosophy centres on creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels appreciated and motivated. I am committed to building strong, meaningful relationships with students and colleagues, as I believe that a caring and collaborative atmosphere is vital for both academic and personal success.

I look forward to a wonderful year ahead, filled with growth and achievements, as a part of the Fort McMurray Islamic School family!

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.
