MRU Student Nurses
We say farewell to the three amazing student nurses, Ms. Wendy, Mr. Peter and Mr. Daniel next week. They have been a wonderful supporting partner in the kindergarten classes. Their last day is Tuesday, October 17. They are sending a friendly reminder to schedule your appointments to ensure your health and that of your family: https://myhealth.alberta.ca/to...

 
In addition, they have thoughtfully created a sleep poster to share, which you can find linked in the right column for your reference. Wishing you and your family good health and wellness!

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. Please check your email sent earlier this week with the subject Wellness Clinic at Niitsitapi Learning Centre for a survey that was sent to determine the clinical resource needs. 

Halloween at NLC
Halloween will be a special learning day at NLC. Classes will not have 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. 

Inii’s Insights | Connecting to Spirit at Home
The Connecting to Spirit model was designed for the students, families and staff of Niitsitapi alongside Elders, as a means to understand our bodies, validate emotions and learn ways to help us regulate and connect to spirit. Connecting to Spirit At Home.pdf
