ECMS will administer the statewide TELPAS (English Language Proficiency Assessment) on February 18-19. It is important that your student brings a fully charged Chromebook during these days to complete this test.
Not only did our students take on the ring, but so did some great faculty and staff! We had receptionists, teachers of all grade levels, administrators, occupational therapist, instructional coaches, librarians, and paras all give up their Saturday morning to support the students and exhibit their animals. A big, big thank you for investing in our students in and out of the classroom!

Congratulations to the 2026 HLSR School Art Winner from El Campo Middle School, Brooke Tupa! She won Best of Show with her piece, Turquoise Beauty, a Prismacolor and watercolor.
During last night’s board meeting, we took a moment to celebrate several outstanding Ricebirds! We began by recognizing the seven dedicated volunteers who selflessly serve on the El Campo ISD Board of Trustees. Next, we acknowledged our Remarkable Ricebirds: Michelle Fernandez, the Elementary Parent Liaison; Nick Popp from El Campo Middle School; and BJ Swenson from El Campo High School. Finally, we concluded by honoring Trent Popp, who was named the 4A Assistant Coach of the Year by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association.
The Board discussed options for the 2026-2027 calendar and approved several agenda items.
