Students interested in summer school can now sign up.

The Fort McMurray Public School Division is hosting classes at École McTavish High School throughout July for those entering grades 10, 11, and 12.

This includes students in the Fort McMurray Catholic School District as the two switch hosting duties every five years.

Right now, the plan is to have classes take place in person, however, if COVID-19 totals continue to rise it may be moved online.

Last year, 261 students took part in summer school with the FMPSD projecting over 300 to take part this year.

Last year’s experience clearly demonstrated that even in the midst of great challenges, our community highly values the educational opportunities Summer School provides,” said Daniel Baseley, Summer School Principal.

“As always, we expect to welcome a large number of registrants who seek to work ahead, or upgrade.”

Classes will be held from July 5 to 28, Monday to Friday beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 1:30 p.m. with a 30-minute lunch break in between.

Optional Diploma exams will be written in-person, from August 3 to 11.

More information, including how to register, can be found on the FMPSD’s website.
