Dear Rucker Families,
What a wonderful week we have had at Rucker! Thank you to all of our families and students who participated in Red Ribbon Week. It was so much fun seeing everyone join in and help us celebrate making healthy choices!
We also want to send an extra-special shout-out to our incredible PTO and all of the volunteers who helped make our Fall Festival such a success! It was truly a wonderful evening of fun, laughter, and bringing our Rucker community together. We are so grateful for the time, energy, and dedication that went into making the evening special for our families.
As we look ahead to the weeks and months to come, I hope we continue to find ways to come together, support one another, and strengthen the wonderful community we are building. We are ONE RUCKER, and when we work together, we make a difference for ALL students!
Thank you for your continued partnership, generosity, and support. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful community surrounding our students and staff.

🍱 Lunch Visitors
📚Dropping off Items at School - Protecting every instructional minute is extremely important to us. To minimize interruptions to learning, we will not make phone calls to classrooms for forgotten items. Please help your child arrive at school prepared each day with all necessary instructional materials and, if you are sending lunch from home, their lunch. If your child does forget an item, parents are welcome to drop it off in the front lobby. Please be sure that all items are clearly labeled with your child’s first and last name and their teacher’s name. Thank you for helping us protect instructional time and keep our classrooms focused on learning!
👟Dress Code - All students are required to follow the Prosper ISD dress code. Students are encouraged to wear closed toe shoes with rubber soles every day for safety reasons. PE requires closed toe shoes for safety as well. Flip Flops are discouraged as they can be a hazard on the playground and in the gym. Please click here to view the PISD dress code.
👩🏻⚕️Medication - If your child will need medication administered during school hours, please be advised you will need to drop off medication and fill out the medication form prior to our nurse being able to administer it. Please contact our nurse at 945-678-2200 to schedule a time to drop off the medication and all required documentation.
