Rusk Elementary School

A “beachin’” good time is coming to RES!
Join us for Grandparents Night—music, memories, and more!

🏈✨ Eagle Family Reminder ✨🏈
We love seeing our students at Thursday and Friday night home football games cheering on the Eagles! To keep everyone safe and ensure an enjoyable experience:
✅ Students should remain in the stands to watch the game.
✅ No running, horseplay, or games (football, wallball, tag, etc..) on stadium grounds.
✅ Please remember to show good sportsmanship and respect for others.
✅ Younger students should be accompanied by an adult.

Let’s support our Eagles with pride, positivity, and school spirit!

🏈❤️🖤 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! 🦅

Cruise on over!
Grandparents & Family Night is bringing the Good Vibrations with beach fun, book fair, and classic cars!
