Dr. K.A. Clark Public School

English Language Learners

Dr. K. A. Clark School supports a high number of English language learners. Teachers and administration work hard to identify students who need support through annual benchmarking of students who are born in foreign countries, or whose parents are born outside of Canada. 

Students who are identified as needing English language support are then provided with appropriate accommodations within the classroom and extra support both inside and outside of the classroom.

In collaboration with Multicultural Association Wood Buffalo (MCAWB), we provide free tutoring for our students from ECDP - Grade 6. 

We also have an in-school Settlement Youth Support worker with the Settlement Workers in Schools Program (SWIS), at the YMCA of Northern Alberta settlement services. Monica Rukeba is our SYS worker for 2021-2022 school year.

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.
