The Sterling Community School's Student/ Parent Handbook is designed to provide you, our students and the parents of Sterling Community School students, with useful information about our school and general operations. We hope that you will read this handbook and keep it handy and refer to it often when you have questions about subjects included in the handbook and about district policies and procedures. If you are unable to find the answer to your questions in the handbook, we request that you use the contact information for the school administration which is located on the School Tab on our website to contact the school principal or his administrative assistants.

If it is necessary for your child to take medication during school hours, these are the steps for you to follow to facilitate the procedure and to meet the State regulations: The prescribing physician or dentist, licensed to practice in this or any other state, or advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) or physician assistant (PA), must submit a written order for each medication. Forms for these orders are available from the school's health office.
The parent or guardian must also sign the written authorization for medication.
Please find all applicable forms and links below.
