School Board members work hard, unpaid and behind the scenes, to guide the District in providing a quality education to Rusk ISD students. January is School Board Recognition Month, and Rusk Elementary School salutes this special group of volunteers — the seven elected members of the School Board. They take on the job of governing the District, making the best decisions they can for our children, with the full understanding that they will receive only the satisfaction of their contribution. We truly appreciate our RISD School Board!
Rusk Elementary School says thank you to those who serve and protect community members every day.
Parents, we apologize for any inconvenience but the transportation department is short bus drivers this morning. Bus 19 will not start picking up students until 7:45 and all should be picked up by 9:00. All other bus routes will run as scheduled. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call the transportation department at 903-683-5566 after 10:00 this morning. Thank you for your cooperation and again we apologize for any inconvenience.
Show your college colors!
2023… We’re ready!
Happy New Year! We would like to extend best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year. It’s a pleasure to see all of the children, teachers and staff back at school after a long, well deserved break. This 2023 new year brings new hopes, dreams, and aspirations for students. Early in the school year, students set hopes, dreams, and academic goals for the school year. Upon returning to school from the long holiday break, it is important to revisit those initial hopes and dreams to determine how much they have accomplished.
Warm wishes all the students and families. A New Year is like a beginning of a new chapter and therefore, we must make the most of it.
Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
It was the last week before winter break for Rusk Elementary students and Mrs. Oliver had quite the plan to help them get in the holiday spirit.
That’s a wrap! 🎁 Our RES class Christmas Parties were a great way to wrap up the first semester.
The 2nd Grade 2nd Quarter Incentive Trip to the movies and park was a blast!
Mrs. Boudreaux’s 3rd grade students chose their favorite book, wrote a book report and made an ornament about it to hang on their class Christmas tree.
RISD Early Release on Friday, December 16th at 1PM.
Please remember that today is an Early Release day at Rusk ISD. We will be dismissing students at 1PM. Rusk Elementary School holiday parties will be celebrated with students and staff only. Parents may come through the carline to pick up students after the 9AM attendance bell. We wish all of our students and families a wonderful holiday.
We all recall the most famous reindeer of all. 🦌3rd Grade students and staff participated in the annual Reindeer Games for their 2nd Quarter incentive. The Reindeer Games included limbo, scooter races, face painting and so much more. This highly anticipated event allows students and staff members to share in the spirit of the holiday while exhibiting the positive behaviors we focus on year round.
All aboard!! Rusk Elementary School students hopped aboard the Polar Express for a fun day of crafts, read alouds, hot chocolate, and pajamas. A fun time was had by all!
The Rusk Chamber of Commerce unveiled the list of prize winners from the Christmas parade… congratulations to all the outstanding entries! RES was honored to receive “Best Decorated” this year.
On Tuesday morning the Grinch claimed to have stolen our electricity, but he certainly didn’t steal Christmas. Instead, he did quite the opposite. The green character brought smiles to the faces of the students at Rusk Elementary School as he sneaked his way through the hallways, going room-to-room welcomed with cheers, high-fives and a few hugs. The students and staff were very surprised to see him stroll through the doorway in the dimly lit classrooms. The furry fellow made many jaws drop as he entered the rooms. Although the Dr. Seuss Grinch is known for being a grouchy, Christmas-stealing grump, the RES Grinch enjoyed interacting with children and bringing holiday cheer to our campus on Whooville Day.
