Clubs and Programs

Purple Star Schools

The Purple Star School Program is a prestigious recognition awarded to schools that go above and beyond to support the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. This achievement reflects a school’s dedication to ensuring that military-connected students have the resources, stability, and community they need to thrive.

Student Ambassadors

The Student Ambassador program has shown remarkable success in facilitating the integration and support of incoming students. This program cultivates a sense of a welcoming atmosphere among peers, particularly within the second through eighth-grade student population.

This program allows new students to integrate, feel embraced, and thrive. Serving as a student ambassador also provides students with a platform to enhance their leadership and communication abilities, inspiring others to represent their school actively.

The primary aim of the Student Ambassador Program is to ease the transition for all new students, whether they come from military or civilian backgrounds. In essence, the program strives to alleviate the concerns of incoming students and foster connections between military-connected students and newcomers by encouraging the exchange of experiences, strengths, and challenges.

Dandelion Club

Any active-duty service member serving in the U.S. Military whose child is enrolled at Rolle Elementary School in grades kindergarten through fifth grade is eligible to participate in the Dandelion Club. This club provides a supportive environment for military children to foster connections, cultivate friendships, enhance confidence, and enjoy recreational activities after school. All activities are led by professionals with expertise in understanding the unique needs of military children and families with assistance from volunteers.

We are looking forward to expanding this club to other schools within our district.

Military-Connected Advocate

The goal of the Military-Connected Advocate is to meet the social-emotional needs of military-connected students by offering support with school transitions, making and keeping friends, adjusting to parent absences and/or reunification, advocating for their needs, deployments, and more.

To learn more, connect with your Military-Connected Advocate, Sandra Carbajal.

Military Family Life Counselors

Military Family Life Counselors, funded by the Department of Defense, may serve schools with many active-duty dependent students. With parent permission, they provide free, confidential individual and group counseling to children and families to address the impacts of military life. They do not keep records of counseling. They also may provide education and coaching to teachers and staff.

The MFLC program is found on the following campuses. Use the link to your school to learn more about your school’s program.
