Rusk Elementary School

Let's get back to the basics. ✅ Drivers — follow the school bus rules and help protect our kids getting on and off the bus. 🚌🛑

💧 Hydration Reminder! 💧 Eagles, don’t forget to bring a water bottle to school each day so you can refill at our water stations. Staying hydrated is especially important during these hot months—let’s keep our minds and bodies ready for learning! 🦅☀️

Today our GT students traveled to Lufkin to visit the Museum of East Texas, where they explored an award-winning LEGO exhibit and were guided by the builder himself. This opportunity gave students the perfect chance to explore LEGO craftsmanship before beginning their upcoming unit of study on LEGO Robotics. The exhibit will be on display until October 19 and would be a perfect family outing if you’re looking for a fun and educational experience!

Parents, we need YOU! Our PTO is a vital part of supporting students, teachers, and school events throughout the year. We’d love for you to join us at our next PTO meeting!

🤘Today we turned up the volume on learning—Rock Your School Day was rocking!

Earlier this week, your child is brought home a Book Buddy Lanyard letting you know about a safe and easy way for our school to raise funds for essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed.

The SchoolStore Program is 100% online so there is NO face-to-face selling, handling money, or delivering products. Your participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for the students.

Here is all you need to do to participate:
1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000080025 to sign up.
2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child.
3. Return the Book Buddy Lanyard with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize.

Be sure to ask your child for the Book Buddy Lanyard. Your participation will make a difference for our school and teachers!
