Welcome to School!
We hope you enjoyed a fun-filled summer with your family. Our staff has been working diligently to prepare for an exceptional educational experience for your child. All we need now are our students!
At Stepping Stones, family engagement is a main focus. We make it our mission to partner with families in order to see solid student growth and improvement. We believe that strong family engagement supports the development of our students. We want to join with you in the journey of your child’s development. We know that working collaboratively with parents is key to making the greatest difference in a child’s education.
We also have a great team. When your child attends Stepping Stones, they will be surrounded by people who truly care about them and want to see them succeed. Please see the pictures of our staff at the end of this newsletter.
We are looking forward to a great year!

Parking at Stepping Stones
There are two options for parking for parents of students who attend Stepping Stones. The parking lot by E 12th St, which is across from the post office, and the parking lot next to N Florida avenue. This is a shared space between many district departments, so everyone has assigned parking.
Please park in parking spaces and leave the drive lanes clear. Do not park next to curbs that are painted yellow and do not leave your vehicle in a spot that is not a designated parking space.
