El Campo ISD's academic calendar for the 2023-24 school year has been approved! View the complete 2023-24 calendar at: https://tinyurl.com/23-24AcademicCal.
The first day of school will be Tuesday, Aug. 15. Teachers return on Wednesday, Aug. 2, for staff development and instructional planning.
The unanimous approval vote by the ECISD Board of Trustees was made at the Jan. 24 school board meeting.
In an abundance of caution, Northside Elementary and Myatt Elementary schools will go on lockdown because of an El Campo Police Department situation in close proximity to the schools. We believe everyone is safe and secure and we are doing this as a cautionary measure. Please check the ECPD website for information.
