A MESSAGE FROM:
Bennett Intermediate School
2025-2026
Bennett Intermediate School opened in the 2019?2020 school year and is currently in its sixth year of operation. It is located in Bennett, Colorado, about 30 miles east of Denver. The school serves students in grades 3 through 5 and is classified as a Title I school. For the 2024?2025 school year, there are 278 students enrolled. The BIS staff includes a principal, a dean of students shared with the elementary school, and a school counselor who is also shared with the elementary school. Each gra…
de level?third, fourth, and fifth?has four teachers. There is one special education teacher assistant who also serves as a long-term substitute while working toward a SPED license, and one SPED paraprofessional. The staff also includes one ELD teacher (shared with elementary school) and one ELD paraprofessional. Additionally, there is one reading interventionist and one reading paraprofessional, both shared positions. The PE team includes one full-time teacher and one long-term substitute who is working toward a teaching license. The school also has one music teacher, one long-term substitute art teacher who is also pursuing her teaching license, an administrative assistant, a health assistant, and a district nurse. Bennett continues to experience population growth, with increasing diversity in the district. Many students come from nearby urban schools, and their arrival has highlighted academic challenges, including significant reading deficiencies and a growing number of non-English speakers. In addition, we have a steady percentage of students who are coming from out of the country with language challenges, further increasing the demand for targeted language and literacy support across all grade levels. The community includes families from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, with new housing developments contributing to this changing landscape. The Bennett 29J School District values input from families and community members through its District Accountability Team. This team includes administrators, teachers, parents, and community members from each school. It plays an important role in guiding the district?s Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) and the monitoring of school goals. At the school level, the Bennett Intermediate School Accountability Committee includes staff, parents, administrators, and a PTSA representative. This committee meets regularly to address academic performance, attendance, and other school matters. Staff at BIS are essential contributors to the UIP. They collaborate regularly to review the school?s progress and plan next steps, ensuring alignment with the school?s Mission, Vision, and Values. Every month, grade-level teams meet with instructional coaches and administrators to review data and refine their goals. Teachers use tools such as i-Ready and DIBELS to assess student progress and adjust instruction accordingly. These efforts support planning and targeted teaching strategies to improve student outcomes. Communication with families is a school priority. Staff consistently share updates about academics, attendance, events, and opportunities for involvement. The district conducts monthly support visits to monitor progress and provide guidance. Each month, BIS staff receive professional development. Topics include Tier One instruction, engagement strategies in reading, writing, and math, instruction for multilingual learners, differentiated instruction, MTSS, classroom management, time management, and family engagement. The primary goal of Bennett Intermediate School is to provide all students with a high-quality education, regardless of background. Staff are committed to implementing the district curriculum, using differentiated instruction, and building student confidence. Support programs include services for Gifted and Talented students, English Language Learners, and students with Individualized Education Plans.
