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!!
Rusk High School 2022-2023 May Happenings
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.

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.

Rusk ISD parents/guardians please check your email. A survey has been sent out to provide feedback for our 2023-2024 school year calendar.
During our February School Board Meeting I requested the District investigate the possibility of adopting a 4 day school week instructional calendar for the 2023-2024 academic year. We are examining a number of different districts currently using the 4 day calendar and trying to gather as much relevant information as possible regarding the decision. We understand it is difficult to provide an absolute answer without addressing some of the challenges associated with this calendar and be assured the District is not using the survey results to determine if we move forward. This initial survey is to determine what interest our stakeholders have in the possibility of a 4 day week. Once we have more strategies in place we will provide other opportunities to share your thoughts. When you have the chance please respond to the survey. We sent this same survey to our staff and will be allowing secondary students to participate in the very near future.
Thank You,
Grey Burton, Superintendent
Shoutout to all our CTE Teachers and RHS and RJH!
Rusk ISD recognizes that genuine feelings of affection may exist between two students. However, students shall refrain from all Public Displays of Affection (PDA) while on campus or while attending and/or participating in a school-related activity. Click here to read the district's full statement on PDA: https://5il.co/1p8x5
"Rusk ISD will resume a regular schedule tomorrow, Thursday February 2nd. If the temperature drops overnight and changes road conditions we will notify everyone early in the morning. Thank you, Grey Burton"
"Rusk ISD will begin classes at 10am tomorrow. Buses will run two hours later. The extra time will allow everyone better visibility as they travel to school in case there are issues with any roads. We want to err on the side of caution. Thank you Grey Burton"
