We are excited to welcome Mrs. Hadjison as our new Assistant Principal at Rusk Elementary School! With a heart for students and a passion for education, she is ready to partner with staff, families, and our community to make this year the best yet. Please help us give a warm Eagle welcome!
Attendance matters! 📅✨ Mrs. Kadlecek’s class is working hard on earning a perfect week and chasing those attendance incentives. Way to go, 2nd grade Eagles!
Our 2nd graders are off to a great start! 📚 They have spent the first few weeks of school exploring the library and learning all about how to check out books, find their favorites, and follow library procedures.
Our Eagles are dreaming big! 🦅 On Monday, students and staff proudly wore their college shirts to celebrate bright futures...whether in college, careers, or the armed forces.
📸 Say Cheese for a Cause! 🎓 Save the date for Back-to-School Photos! This year, M&M Photography and the RHS Senior Class of 2026 will be hosting a Photo Fundraiser to help capture your student’s back to school smiles while raising funds for their senior year.
🎉We are proud to celebrate our students and staff for their hard work and dedication that earned Rusk Elementary a “B” rating! The Texas Education Agency rates schools on more than just test scores. A campus rating looks at Student Achievement, Student Progress, and Closing the Gaps.
Did you know that one of the biggest ways parents can help our school rating has nothing to do with test scores… it’s attendance!
✅ Every day counts.
✅ Every student counts.
✅ Attendance = Achievement.
When students are in school, they learn, grow, and show progress—which directly impacts how our campus is scored. The easiest way to help our school succeed is to make sure your child is here, on time, every day (unless they’re truly sick). Together, we can make a BIG difference!

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!
