Halloween will be a special learning day at NLC. Classes will not be having parties but may engage in Halloween or Autumn-themed learning activities. On October 31, we invite students and staff to wear costumes or cozy pajamas for the day if they wish. To celebrate our school spirit, we will have a parade in the main gym. 

When choosing a costume to wear to school please consider the following:  

• Prioritize your child's comfort and safety, taking into account both indoor and outdoor activities. Ensure they can wear a coat and appropriate indoor and outdoor shoes with their costume. 
• Avoid long capes, uncomfortable shoes, or things that could make you trip. We'll be playing inside and outside, so it needs to be safe. Students should be able to participate in gym and outdoor play safely throughout the day.  
• It’s important that their costume does not obstruct their vision. Therefore, we recommend that masks not be worn. 
• Please leave loose props at home. We cannot be responsible for anything lost or left behind at the school before Halloween night and there will be no staff here to accommodate entrance to the school for any forgotten items.   
• Do not send costume weapons, such as swords or guns, to school.  
• Refrain from extremely gory or frightening costumes, considering the presence of small children, students, and staff with varying levels of sensitivity. Our aim is for everyone to feel secure and have an enjoyable experience.
