The Government of Alberta recently announced a parent payment program to help offset costs for families with children 12 years of age and under during the current teacher strike. Applications for this program will be open on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

Once available, parents can apply for this payment through their Alberta.ca My Account. To complete an application, parents will need their child’s Alberta Student Number (ASN).

Parents can find their child’s ASN in their PowerSchool Parent Portal on the Grades and Attendance screen. If applying for more than one child, parents can click on each child’s name at the top of the screen to switch between children. 

For more details on eligibility and how to apply, parents can visit the Government of Alberta’s website.
