The Playbill

Dear Nursery Road Elementary Arts Magnet Families,

As we enter the final month of the school year, thank you for your continued support in making this a vibrant, creative, and successful year for our Champions. From performances to field trips and arts-integrated learning, your partnership has made a difference.

Let’s stay focused and finish strong—daily attendance and punctuality are key to ensuring students make the most of these last few weeks.

We look forward to all that May holds as we wrap up the year together!

Warmly,
Principal Fisher

All medications must be picked up by a guardian by May 29th at 12:00 pm from the Health Room.

For safety reasons, we do not send medicine home with students. It is our school district's policy to destroy medicine that is not picked up by the students' last day of school.

Gavin's Law (H.3583) is legislation that makes sexual extortion, the act of blackmailing someone using sexually explicit images or videos, a felony offense and an aggravated felony if the victim is a minor, vulnerable adult, or if the victim suffers bodily injury or death directly related to the crime.

The bill reads in part, "Local school districts shall collaborate with the State Department of Education, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the Attorney General’s office, as appropriate, to implement a policy to educate and notify students of the provisions of this act which includes adequate notice to students, parents or guardians, the public, and school personnel of the change in law. The State Department of Education must file a report as to the status of the adoption and implementation of the education policies under this act to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, annually by July first of each year."

In November 2023, the School District Five of Lexington & Richland Counties Board of Trustees approved new Board Policy JICFB, “Gavin’s Law Implementation.” Families may find additional information regarding Gavin’s Law on School District Five’s website.
