Composite High School will remain closed until further notice.
Fort McMurray Public School Division has reported that the school’s main flood has been flooded.
Dr. Clark Public School and the Division Office on the other hand had no damage from the surrounding water.
Both facilities, however, did lose power and will remain closed until utilities are restored.
There is no public access to all three buildings.
Composite High School and Dr. Clark staff have been moved to Westwood Community High School, while Division Office senior leaders work out of École McTavish High School.
Counsellors are providing mental health supports for those who have been displaced and impacted.
“We don’t know what recovery will look like at the moment, but, we are aware of the mental health impacts from last week’s flooding situation. While learning continues at home starting this week, we know mental health supports will be needed long into the future; helping our students and staff remains a priority,” said Jennifer Turner, Superintendent, FMPSD.
This support will continue into the new academic year.
