About

Grace Marie Swampy Primary School is an elementary school located on Samson Reserve in Maskwacis, Alberta. It was officially opened September 28, 1993. The “Pink School,” as it is commonly referred to in the community, includes a K4 preschool program (4 yr olds) and kindergarten (5 yr olds), as well as grades one and two.

Introduction

The “Pink School,” realizing that your children’s success as learners rests on their ability to read and write well. We have incorporated 100 minutes of uninterrupted literacy instruction. 100 minutes of literacy is based upon current research and best teaching practices. It incorporates all reading and writing approaches, realizing students need to use multiple strategies to become proficient readers and writers.

Mission

We are committed to helping each child become self-aware as nêhiyawak, while teaching them skills of miyo pimatisiwin and knowledge that will foster their global citizenship.

Vision

We will provide each kiskinwahamawâkan with many positive ways to learn about nêhiyaw language and culture, literacy and numeracy through educational methodology as well as a land-based approach.

Notice to Families of Grace Marie Swampy Memorial Primary School

Our school will remain open during the Alberta Teacher Strike. MESC schools are not affected by the strike. To manage possible increases in registrations, all new student registrations will go on a temporary waiting list from October 6th - 24th.

This three-week period gives us time to:

-Review class sizes and staffing.

-Plan resources so new students can be supported properly.

Families on the waiting list will be contacted if space becomes available. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Our priority is the well-being of students and staff, and ensuring every child continues to receive a safe, supportive, and high-quality education.
