We apologize, but we realized the lunch times for the Kindergarten teachers got reversed. The correct times are:
11:05 - 11:35 Armitage, Bernard, Hollis, Ross
11:15 - 11:45 Brooks, Collins, See, Price
We do recommend coming a few minutes early to find a parking spot and pick up your tag :)
Calling all GRAND-PALS! Join us for lunch to celebrate Grandparents' Day on Friday, September 8th. PK lunches start at 10:30, Kinder starts at 11:00 and 1st starts at 12:00. RSVP forms will be going home next week. All guests have to be in the student's SKYWARD account and license ran through our security system. You can get your license scanned any day next week from 8:00-3:00. We will be here late on Tuesday, August 29th to scan your license during our Parent University event. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Do you ever wish that you could know more about what the school means when they say things like Skyward, 90% Law, RTI, or additional services?? Join us for a night just for PARENTS! We want to educate you about all the things that will help your student be successful in school. Office staff and teachers will teach sessions about tools and resources that will be beneficial to you. We will also have door prizes that include a tablet, food gift cards, and an exclusive VIP pick up and dismissal service that will let you skip the line!! More information will be sent home.
Don't forget that ALL students will have school this Friday! This will be our only 5 day week.
DROP OFF AND DISMISSAL REMINDERS
Don't forget the path of our car rider line. Attached is a map of the route you will need to take for drop off and dismissal. Please remain in the car and we will unload and load the students. If you do not have your tag, the name caller will have you park in the parking lot for your ID to be checked. Please do not cut in line from the opposite direction of Center Street. We have a system in place and this will throw off the order of the student names. It always takes a longer time at the beginning of the year, so please be patient with us :)

We are making plans for our Friday student programs next school year. In order to plan appropriately for staffing, facilities, food, and busing we need to determine how many students will be participating. If you might be interested or know your student will be attending these events, please take a moment to answer these questions.

Skyward Password Update!
In an ongoing commitment to protect data and to improve Skyward
security features, changes will be implemented to our Skyward system
regarding district passwords through an update Thursday night. This
password update procedure is a requirement from Skyward, our software
provider, and it applies to all users.
On Friday, April 21, 2023, when district users (Employees, Guardians
and Students) log in for the first time, you will be required to enter your
current password twice. This will prompt the system to review your
password to check to see if you currently meet the updated Skyward
security requirements. If your password is already secure you will be
allowed to log in as normal. If not, the system will require you to change
your password to a new password that will need to be at least 8 or more
characters in length and include both upper and lower case characters.
Once you change the password, you will be able to access your account.
Thank you for your help in keeping our data secure.
Due to weather, Field Day is rescheduled for Monday, April 10th. No school on Friday, April 7th. Enjoy your 3 day weekend!

Rusk ISD parents/guardians please check your email. A survey has been sent out to provide feedback for our 2023-2024 school year calendar.
During our February School Board Meeting I requested the District investigate the possibility of adopting a 4 day school week instructional calendar for the 2023-2024 academic year. We are examining a number of different districts currently using the 4 day calendar and trying to gather as much relevant information as possible regarding the decision. We understand it is difficult to provide an absolute answer without addressing some of the challenges associated with this calendar and be assured the District is not using the survey results to determine if we move forward. This initial survey is to determine what interest our stakeholders have in the possibility of a 4 day week. Once we have more strategies in place we will provide other opportunities to share your thoughts. When you have the chance please respond to the survey. We sent this same survey to our staff and will be allowing secondary students to participate in the very near future.
Thank You,
Grey Burton, Superintendent
