In the face of tremendous adversity, residents of Fort McMurray are being evacuated from their community without any certainty about what the next days, weeks or months might look like.

Some students may return to the communities of their parents, relatives or friends as they try to determine what the future holds. Many may come to communities within our school division.

NGPS welcomes all students from Fort McMurray who want to continue their education with as little interruption as possible, in our communities of Alberta Beach, Onoway, Rich Valley, Darwell, Sangudo, Mayerthorpe, Whitecourt, Fox Creek and Valleyview.

Any students staying in these communities can contact the school directly for information on how to register or contact NGPS Central Services at 1-800-262-8674 for more information.
