Military Families
Bennett Ranch Elementary Military Family information
At Bennett Ranch Elementary, approximately 22% of our students are military-connected. We recognize that military-connected students face specific challenges. We have a Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC) who is at our school two days a week. Our MFLC is an integral part of our school community. She connects with individual students and small groups throughout the day. Our MFLC does require parent permission in writing, so be sure to email Mrs. Beuke at kristen.beuke@d49.org.
The Bull's Welcome Bridgade serves as a welcoming team to greet new students and their families. They are here to give a tour of the school, introduce students to our explorer teachers, and be a friendly face for the first days of school. These ambassadors will eat lunch with students and attend recess with them as they learn about Bennett Ranch. We want all students to have someone they feel comfortable around and feel safe to ask questions.
Our counselor, Mrs. Kristen Beuke is here to support our military families. She serves as our point of contact for families looking into attending Bennett Ranch and works to make sure students find where they belong. If your family would like to visit Bennett Ranch for a tour or if you have any questions please reach out to Mrs. Beuke.

Purple Star Award Program
District 49 and Bennett Ranch Elementary School are proud to be participating in the Purple Star Award Program, a new initiative here in Colorado designed to support military-connected families. This program helps military-connected families identify schools who are well equipped to support students and ease their transitions into new schools during all phases of a military career.
