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!
Thank you for always going above and beyond for our staff and students! We love you both!!

We are making plans for our Friday student programs next school year. In order to plan appropriately for staffing, facilities, food, and busing we need to determine how many students will be participating. If you might be interested or know your student will be attending these events, please take a moment to answer these questions.

STAAR Testing Reminder
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.
