Community of Care 
This week bus drivers from Piitoayis Family School and Niitsitapi Learning Centre came together for a presentation at NLC where we shared Holistic Approaches that help nurture our students and families while on route. Our bus drivers are a critical part of our circle and we appreciate their commitment to helping our students travel to and from school safely.  

Wellness Clinic at Niitsitapi Learning Centre
Alberta Health Services is opening a wellness clinic to provide culturally safe, primary healthcare services to students, their siblings, and caregivers. The clinic will be supported by Elbow River Healing Lodge medical practitioners and specialists. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. The survey is now closed.  We will share more information as it becomes available.

Halloween at NLC
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 pyjamas 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.
