The first day of school is Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Check out the following information and links below so you are ready to kick off the new year!
As we prepare for a successful 2025-2026 school year, we want to make you aware of a new state law, House Bill 1481, which was recently passed by the Texas Legislature. This law requires a policy that reflects the law that limits student use of personal communication devices while on school property during the school day. Read more about it in the ECISD HB1481 Article.
ANNUAL UPDATES, SIGN-OFFS, AND SKYWARD INFO FOR RETURNING STUDENTS
At the start of each school year, we ask families to update important information and complete annual sign-offs in Skyward. These forms will be live and available for completion in July.
You are encouraged to complete this vital information to get your secondary student's schedule and/or your elementary student's teacher's name.
To ensure your secondary child gets a schedule at orientation and/or your elementary child receives their teacher's name at Meet the Teacher night, registration must be completed by August 4.
If you update your address during registration, you will need to then provide proper documentation to the campus for registration to be complete. Proper documentation includes proof of residence: a utility bill (water, gas, or electric). *Must be a current bill in the parent/guardian's name and match the parent/guardian's ID and service address.
Parents/guardians may access registration forms using the following link: Skyward Family Access Parent Portal
