Dear Nursery Road Families,
As we enter October, our thoughts are with those still without power and families in need after Hurricane Helene. In this time of recovery, may we be reminded of the importance of community care, both in our schools and beyond.
October is National Bullying Awareness Month—a perfect opportunity to teach our children the value of kindness, empathy, and helping others. Let’s take this call to action, not just in response to natural disasters, but in our everyday conversations, schools, and neighborhoods.
Together, we can make a difference.
With care,
Karey Fisher

It is time for D5's student health screenings. District nurses and staff from Healthy Learners will conduct the screenings, and schedules have been devised to keep classroom disruption to a minimum. Screenings will be completed in one day and we request that each student make an extra effort to be in attendance on that day. Screenings will be held on Wednesday, October 16th at Nursery Road Elementary School.
Our school screening program is provided to find children with untreated vision and hearing problems. Such problems may make it hard for children to grow and learn. If your child does not meet district guidelines for passing one of the screenings, we will let you know and ask that you have your child checked by a physician or a healthcare specialist. School screenings are not meant to take the place of an examination by your child's health care provider. Continue to take your child for regularly scheduled visits with his/her health care provider. If your child wears glasses or contact lenses, please have them wear them to school on the day of screening. If you do not want your child/children to be screened at school, please contact Allyson Utter, RN -School Nurse at 803-476-4309.
