Superintendent ‘s Notes By Jim Duval, Superintendent
Hello
The school year has begun and
we are enjoying the new faces,
students and staff, which are at
Sterling Public schools this year.
At this time our student num-
bers are slightly higher than last
year. I would encourage you to
introduce yourself to them when
possible.
School events are beginning
and we all hope everyone sup-
ports all the activities that our
students participate in through-
out the year. Attendance at
events is encouraged and appreci-
ated by the students.
The bus routes are always a con-
cern and I hope that all parents
take time to review the rules given
the students about proper conduct
on the bus. Safety on the bus is an
absolute must and the drivers
need to be giving there full atten-
tion to the road.
Everyone is encouraged to visit
school but please contact school in
advance so we can coordinate vis-
its and time so as to not disrupt
the students school day.

Greater than 50% of the calls to the Nebraska Regional Poison Center involve medications.
Every year the poison center gets calls from schools and daycare centers where medication
is found on the floor, in diaper bags, and with students sharing medications.
Putting your child’s medication in a lunch box, sports bag or backpack results in loss of con-
trol over how that medication will be used. It puts your child and the other school children
at risk. It is important for parents to become familiar with and follow their child’s school
medication policy.
Parents should also:
* Keep all medications stored in their original container. Never mix medications into
other containers, as this makes identifying medications very difficult in case of an emer-
gency.
* Talk to your child about the school’s medication policy.
* Tell children that even though medications may make one child feel better, they can
make another child very ill. Also, make them aware that taking more medication than di-
rected on the bottle will not make their child feel better quicker and instead can make them
sicker.
* Make teenagers aware that taking over-the-counter pain relievers in amounts larger than
prescribed can be very dangerous.
Sports bags may contain asthma inhalers and sports cream. Asthma inhalers should never
be shared with other people. Taking too much of these medications can cause flushed skin,
tremors, dizziness and heart problems. Sports creams contain ingredients that can be dan-
gerous if ingested or rubbed into the eye.
The Nebraska Regional Poison Center offers tips on poison prevention as a free commu-
nity service. For more information, contact the Nebraska Regional Poison Center by calling
(402) 955-5555 in the Omaha metropolitan area or toll-free at 1-800-222-1222.
The Nebraska Regional Poison Center is sponsored by The Nebraska Medical Center, Creighton University Medical Center, and University of Nebraska Medical Center.
