🏈❤️🖤 It’s GAME DAY in Rusk on Friday! It I is our first home football game, and we can’t wait to see our stands filled with students, families, and community members cheering on our Eagles! As always, student safety and a positive game-day experience are our top priorities. Please help us by reminding your student of these expectations: • School events = school rules. Fighting, profanity, harassment, and vaping are not tolerated. • Students should remain in the stands to watch and cheer for our athletes, band, cheerleaders, Belles, and twirlers. • Respectful behavior toward officials, opposing teams, and other fans is expected at all times. We are proud of our Eagle spirit, and with your support we can keep our games a safe, fun, and spirited experience for all! 🦅We are also excited to welcome the new game day tradition, "the "Bleacher Creature" experience to our home games for our students who have purchased a shirt. Go Eagles! 🦅

Car Line Reminders:
All students must be dropped off and picked up through the carline. Please do not bypass the line to park and allow your student to walk up from the road.

Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we begin the new school year. Our priority is student safety, and we’ve found that when everyone follows the procedures, the carline works smoothly, allowing all parents to drop off and pick up their children safely and efficiently.

Thank you for helping us keep every child safe!
