Sterling Public Schools Families—

Please save the dates for Back-to-School Nights at your SPS5 school! We are excited to welcome students back in August and begin another great school year together.

We also want to remind families that online registration must be completed every year. More than 1,000 families have not yet completed registration, so please log in and register your student as soon as possible.

Enjoy the rest of July—we look forward to seeing everyone in August!

Last night was the third annual Future Educator Club Winter Social Alumni event! SHS students, SHS alumni currently in college, and SPS staff came together to talk about careers in education—the challenges, the highlights, and the joy of caring for children ❤️ We shared great conversations, played games, laughed, and celebrated our passion for education. Cheers to 2026 and to hopefully seeing some of these students return as future SPS staff!
