Students at RIS have been working hard on their End of the Year Class projects! 4th graders have been conducting a biography project in Social Studies. They chose an influential person in History to research and make a presentation for their class. While 5th graders in Ms. Brown's room did a novel study in class over The Secret Garden. Each group made a diorama of their favorite scene in the book and presented it to their peers. Their projects are now displayed in our Library! Way to go Eagles!

Thank you for sending forms and fixing piles, poring through the paper piles. Completing tasks with time to spare, keeping track of what goes where. Placing orders for supplies, staying calm when tensions rise. Typing e-mails and reports, handling crises of all sorts. Taking calls throughout the day, and being great in every way! HAPPY ADMINISTRATORS PROFESSIONALS DAY MRS. GOFF & MRS. THOMPSON!!! You two are, no doubt, the glue that holds this school together and we don't know where we would be without you!

Rusk ISD Skyward Password Update! In an ongoing commitment to protect data and to improve Skyward security features, changes will be implemented to our Skyward system regarding district passwords through an update Thursday night. This password update procedure is a requirement from Skyward, our software provider, and it applies to all users. On Friday, April 21, 2023, when district users (Employees, Guardians and Students) log in for the first time, you will be required to enter your current password twice. This will prompt the system to review your password to check to see if you currently meet the updated Skyward security requirements. If your password is already secure you will be allowed to log in as normal. If not, the system will require you to change your password to a new password that will need to be at least 8 or more characters in length and include both upper and lower case characters. Once you change the password, you will be able to access your account. Thank you for your help in keeping our data secure.

Please don't be "jelly" but Rusk Intermediate School has a true ROCK STAR for a librarian! Mrs. Oliver is the definition of a "relationship-builder". She knows every student on our campus and has unique, individual relationships with each of them. She keeps our whole campus Vibin' and Thrivin'! We are so very blessed to call her ours!
