I love how the Christmas Parade brings together family and friends to enjoy the sights and sounds, and show off all of the wonderful groups and organizations that make up our community. The RES staff had a memorable time decorating the bus, participating in the parade, seeing so many familiar faces and spending time with one another. 🎄
Gingerbread Hugs,
Peppermint Kisses &
Sweet Christmas Wishes! ❤️ RES
Rusk ISD will continue using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system allows us to do that.
The Raptor system allows us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff. This system should not be viewed as a deterrent to parents/volunteers or access to the campus. Rather, the intent is to ensure all visitors are registered in the office and screened prior to having access to the campus.
We strive to provide a welcoming and warm environment for our families, students, and staff while communicating a culture of safety and security to the community. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols in our district and on our campus.
➡️ Guests who have RSVP'd to the RES Texas Christmas event will be required to have their ID pre-scanned by Wednesday afternoon, if guests are not already in the Raptor system. Please call the RES office if you have any questions. We will firmly adhere to these guidelines, so please make arrangements to follow the set safety protocols.
Come and join us for an early Texas-sized Christmas celebration! {This event will replace our traditional classroom Christmas parties. Please read carefully and note deadline dates and lunch times.} We look forward to seeing you there!
As we head into winter break, we invite our families to take this opportunity to rest, relax, unplug and connect with each other.
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to be thankful for all the amazing gifts we have been blessed with. We hope your holiday is full of love and joy!
There is no shortage of festive holiday events at RES this season. From the beloved caroling, and fun-filled dress-up days, plus opportunities to participate in service projects, to creating crafts every student will find their favorite way to celebrate December. Check out why the holidays are best spent at Rusk Elementary School with classmates and staff. Mark your calendar for these fun-filled events.
The 5th Annual "More Than A Book" event will be held during the month of December. In previous years, the event has been extremely successful in collecting more than 1,000 books. With your help, we hope to make this year's event just as amazing!
Please consider supporting students' reading success by donating a book to the "More Than a Book" book drive in honor of a loved one. A convenient way to buy a book for the library is to buy from our Amazon.com Wish List, and have the item shipped directly to the school. It’s like a gift registry for the library. At your request, we will acknowledge your donation with a bookplate. Please refer to our Amazon wish list for the most current requests. Hardcover and paperback books of all genres for children, teens, and young adults are welcome.
The Rusk Elementary School campus also welcomes parents, students, and community members to drop off book donations.
May the peace and joy of the holidays be with you today and throughout the new year. Wishing you a happy holiday season and a joyous New Year.
