IVES Leadership

Hello IVES Flyers! I am so excited to be your Principal. I bring with me over twenty five years in education as a leader with a strong passion for student-centered learning and a commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported and challenged to grow. Throughout my career, I have valued meaningful relationships with students, staff and families, recognizing that collaboration is key to student success. 

Over my career I have been a substitute teacher, elementary teacher, middle school math teacher, instructional coach, MYP Coordinator, Assistant Principal, Executive Director of Educational Services and Principal at PreK-12 grades. 

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Adams State University and then soon started my Masters in Special Education, before changing to finish my Masters in Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment. I then gained my Principal's license through UCCS. 

Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with my husband, six children, and soon to be four grandbabies. I love to cook and have a professional photography business. I am a life long fan of the Denver Broncos and Nuggets. I look forward to building strong connections within the school community and working collaboratively to support the success of every student at IVES. 

Hello IVES Flyers! I am so excited to be partnering with you and your children this year as the Assistant Principal!

The 26-27 school year marks my 18th year in education. I have been at IVES since the school opened, teaching first grade and third grade, supporting students as the Dean of Students, and now the Assistant Principal. Being in the classroom first has allowed me to establish strong relationships with many of the students at IVES. 

I attended college at Colorado State University where I earned a full scholarship as a pitcher on the fastpitch softball team. In 2015 I was inducted into the Hall of Fame at CSU for my softball accolades.  While attending college at CSU, I earned my degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Go Rams! After college, I began teaching and earned my master's degree in reading: classroom/directed study from Regis University. In 2019, I earned my principal licensure from Lamar State University.

On a more personal note, I have been married to my husband for 14 years. We have been blessed with three boys that keep us constantly moving! They are 11, 9, 6 years old.  We love to get outside and adventure with them! Whether it be hooking up our boat and camper in the summer to enjoy glistening lakes or snowmobiling and skiing in the winter, we are always up to discover the beauty of this great country. You will often find me exercising, adventuring, and spending time with my family, as those are the things I enjoy most.

"It is my uncompromising view that all students can learn, given a positive atmosphere that encourages exploration and confidence in oneself. With strong structures and supports in place, all students can soar to unparalleled heights!"

Thank you for being part of our IVES Family! I look forward to partnering with you!

Sincerely,

Jessica Cole
