Military Families

Inspiration View Elementary School is dedicated to helping military parents, whether they are active duty or in the National Guard and Reserves, feel confident that their student is gaining the educational skills necessary to be college, workforce, and life ready. We also support the social and emotional well-being of military students as they adjust to new schools and cope with a parent's deployment.

Inspiration View Elementary School (commonly known as IVES) in the Banning Lewis Ranch neighborhood of Colorado Springs is a welcoming and safe environment where students are encouraged to learn, grow, and explore their passions through creative, arts-integrated learning within District 49’s POWER Zone. The school fosters strong partnerships with families and invites parents to be active members of the school community, helping support both academic and social experiences. Students have opportunities to develop leadership skills through activities such as Student Leadership Committee and other clubs. With a culture centered on safety, collaboration, and belonging, IVES is a place where children can thrive and families can feel connected

On Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, the District 49 Board of Education publicly showed it's support for military-connected students and families by unanimously passing a Purple Star resolution. 

At Inspiration View Elementary, Jessica Cole is our dedicated School Military Liaison and point of contact for Anchored4Life. The School Military Liaison (SML) is a dedicated D49 employee who supports military-connected families—including those with active duty, reserve, and veteran status—as they transition into our district and schools. The SML assists families throughout the enrollment process, helps students adjust to their new school environment, and connects them with local resources as needed. They also provide support with academic planning, including class scheduling and ensuring students meet graduation requirements. The SML works in close partnership with the District Military Student & Family Liaison and military liaisons from surrounding bases to ensure a seamless and supportive experience for every military-connected student. Should you have any questions, please email her at jessica.cole@d49.org.
