Kindergarten Graduation and 5th Grade Promotion
2023-06-15
The Kindergarten Graduation and 5th Grade Promotion will take place during the Stepping Stones Ceremony. Please see details here.

Stepping Stones Ceremony
2023-06-15
Each year at SCS we celebrate the completion of the elementary grades with a “Stepping Stones Ceremony.” The Stepping Stones Ceremony is a tradition where the teacher speaks about the class and the students. Students are given a stone memento with their grade to signify completing the year followed by a symbolic advancement to the next grade. It is a wonderful closure and the stones become keepsakes that they collect every year.
All families are encouraged to attend the Stepping Stones Ceremony for their student’s grade. Students should arrive at school in uniform or nicer clothing at normal time (7:40-7:55 am), with morning car line drop off as usual. Students will remain with their class until their ceremony. Parents should arrive a few minutes before their student’s grade is scheduled to begin. Once the whole class has advanced to the next grade level, families will be directed into the school gym where they should check out their student with the designated staff member. After your student has been checked out, there will be a brief opportunity to take pictures before officially starting summer. If you are unable to attend the Stepping Stones event and will not be picking up your student directly after the ceremony, please note that there will be NO dismissal through car line on this day. Parents must park and check into the office to pick up student no later than noon. See the schedule below:

8:20 – Doors open for Kindergarten Graduation seating
