Introduction

Dr. K. A. Clark School opened on April 8, 1968, two years after the passing of Dr. Karl Clark (1888-1966).  A chemist, experimental scientist, and pioneer of bitumen separation, Dr. Clark’s prototype to refine the bitumen, led to the Oil Sands industry we know today.

Some of the amazing things offered at Dr. K. A. Clark are:

  • The Leader in Me, which emphasizes and encourages student leadership
  • PEAK soccer for students in grades 4 to 6
  • A nutritious and inclusive breakfast program
  • Triple I and Skills/VIP programming
  • Access to 21st-century technology
  • Inclusive programming to support our diverse population

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.
