Updated Sterling School Web Page
Sterling Public Schools has updated their web site with a new look! The front page now contains a background picture of Sterling and the water tower, contributed by Cheri Wirthele. Thank you, Cheri!!!!
We are still fine tuning the site, so please bear with the reconstruction! A few reminders, the yellow tabs on the previous web page, Power School, E-Funds, 2014-15 District Calendar, Menus, Weekly Bulletin, Monthly Newsletter, Library, Alert Solutions, Handbooks & Forms, Monthly Calendar, Facebook link, and E-mail can now all be found under the, "Quick Links" tab located on the right side of the new page. The school activity calendar is located at the bottom of the page in a week's view, which can also be viewed monthly. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or e-mail at rkinney@sterlingpublicschools.com.

In August 2012, Pew Internet Research reported 45 percent of American adult cell phone owners have a smartphone. In addition, 25 percent of American adults own a tablet computer. Those numbers are expected to increase. Anticipating this, our website provider, SOCS, helped us get ready for the trend by providing a mobile view of our web site.
SOCS, a leading web-hosting company, furnishes websites for school districts, hospitals, municipalities and other community non-profits. This service is provided by the Foundation for Educational Services, in Lincoln Nebraska.
