About Us

A huge THANK YOU to the Townsends & Woodmen Life for donating snacks to our staff as a token of appreciation! So very thoughtful!❤️

January 10th was chilly, but that didn’t stop our second graders from having a great time on their visit to the Witte Museum. The Witte never disappoints…there’s always so much learning that happens in unexpected ways!

The PreK garden continues to be a great place for exploration. Recently, students and teachers harvested radishes from the garden. The big question: did the kids LIKE eating the radishes?!

Elm Creek’s Accelerated Reader (AR) program is again underway. Students in grades 1-5 have reading goals they strive to achieve. As they reach pieces of their goals, they earn fun prizes. The last Friday of the month is Prize Day, so right before Christmas we congratulated students on the efforts they made towards their goals! We encourage reading at home to help students reach their goals and beyond!

Our third graders had the chance to visit Palo Alto College! We are thankful students have opportunities such as this to tour college campuses and begin thinking about what post-graduation life might look like!

Announcing the launch of Elm Creek’s first soccer team! Led by third grade teachers, Mr. Aquino and Mrs. L. Lopez, students met to set ground rules for the club, pick a team name, and get in a bit of practice. Here's to the excitement of new endeavors!

Ms. Trujillo’s class had Perfect Attendance the first week of December and earned coupons for free Sonic slushies and Whataburger chicken biscuits! Awesome job!

Science and STEM Night is always a popular event at ECE! Countless families joined us for an evening of discovery. Students received a punch card upon arrival to track their station activities. After visiting at least 4 stations, students redeemed their punch cards for a trifold board to be used for their upcoming science fair project. Great minds are at work!

Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Wendy Quillin! Mrs. Quillin is a Southwest ISD Principal in Resident. She will be joining the ECE Administration team to assist throughout the campus until December. Fun facts: Mrs. Quillin has Elm Creek history! Many years ago, she taught on our special education team. She then spent a number of years working as our assistant principal. And...both of her children are Elm Creek alumni! We're glad to have you back, Mrs. Quillin!

Getting educated in the water is what's up for our fourth graders this week! Students will visit the SWISD Aquatic Center 4 times this week and come away with new experiences!
