Annual AHERA Notice
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) requires that each public school district annually notify parents, staff, and employee groups if an asbestos management plan is in place at their school building.
Sunset HIlls Elementary School, a newly constructed building opened in 2018, was designed with asbestos-free materials. No management plan or inspections are therefore needed.
The Designated Person responsible for managing the District’s AHERA compliance and the contact person for questions is the Director of Facilities, Russ Olsen (402) 390-8331.

Medication/Health Office
The health office must have a written, signed and dated Medication Authorization form from the parent or guardian requesting that his/her child be given medication during the school day (prescription or over-the-counter). This form is available in the office.
All medication must be brought to school and taken home from school by a parent. It must be in the original container, labeled with the child’s name, date prescribed, name of medication, directions for use, dosage information and the time the medication is to be given.
Cough drops, and any over-the-counter medication must be in the original box/package, and a Medication Authorization form must be filled out. These medications are kept in the health office.
Scrapes and cuts are washed and bandaged, if needed. We do not and cannot use any ointment or cleaning product on an individual. If an injury is severe or questionable, a parent will be contacted.
All medication, including cough drops, must be picked up by a parent at the end of the duration. We will not send any medication home with a child.
Dress Code Expectations
In order to ensure a positive learning environment where all feel comfortable and respected, please follow our dress expectations. We expect our students to wear clothing that:
Is clean, safe, and in good condition. Is considerate of others.
Is free of advertisements, graphics or language on drugs, alcohol, tobacco or violence.
Covers appropriately. Halter tops, bare shoulders, spaghetti straps, backless tops and short shorts are not acceptable.
Students will be asked to call home for a change of clothing if not dressed properly.
Personal Property Reminder
Students are reminded that all personal items, such as skateboards, ipods, toys, footballs, basketballs, etc., are not to be brought to school unless specifically requested by the classroom teacher. These items are costly and could be damaged or lost.
After School Plans
Please remember that after school plans should be made in the morning. Students are expected to be off school grounds by 3:45 pm (3:15 pm on Wednesdays). Each child should know what the after school plan is. Students going home with another child after school should make plans ahead of time.
Please remember to notify the school if there is an unexpected change of after school plans for your child. If you know in the morning, a note to the teacher and main office is always appreciated. We appreciate your cooperation in making sure your child is safe.
