Family Engagement & Resources
Overview
We believe that family engagement, where strong partnerships exist between students, families, and Steps, is a key element of ensuring long-term student success. Elements of our family engagement include a fall and spring Family Potluck where all parents/families are welcome to discuss our programs, provide feedback, and access Town-wide resources and information that can best support their children.
The Steps Parent Advisory Group is part of our leadership structure. Its members meet quarterly to help advocate for the program, reach out to other Steps families, participate in fundraising activities, and actively guide programming.
