Dear East Porter Staff and Families,
At yesterday's board meeting, an update to the school calendar was officially approved. The final scheduled eLearning day has been moved to May 4, 2027, to align with primary election day.
Students will complete their assignments asynchronously from home on this date to accommodate polling locations across our district facilities.
You can view or download the full updated calendar directly on the official East Porter County School Corporation website.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation!
Morgan Township and Kouts schools will also operate on schedule as planned.
We cannot wait to welcome back all of our Senators tomorrow for their first day of school! Thank you again for your patience and flexibility over the past couple of days as utility crews worked to restore power to our campus.
See you all in the morning! Go Senators!
Kouts and Morgan Township schools will continue as scheduled.
We will continue to monitor power restoration progress and keep families updated as new information becomes available. Thank you for your continued patience and support as utility crews work to safely restore service!
97.4% of our third graders passed the latest IREAD assessment!
Thank you to our dedicated teachers, hardworking students, and supportive families who make achievements like this possible every single day. We couldn't be prouder! ❤️💚💛
To our Washington Township families, hold tight—we can’t wait to see you back very soon!
We are actively monitoring the power situation and road conditions in Washington Township. We will communicate with families as soon as we know more regarding school for Thursday.
Here's to a safe, smooth, and successful start to the school year! 🎉
We are thrilled to welcome our newest educators to the East Porter family! Over the past few days, these talented teachers have been collaborating, exploring, and getting ready to inspire our students.
Thank you to our dedicated mentor teachers for sharing your wisdom, and to our new educators for bringing so much energy and passion to East Porter!
Indiana’s new bell-to-bell cell phone law is now in effect for the 2026-27 school year. Students' cell phones, smartwatches, and other personal electronic devices must be powered off, stored, and inaccessible during the school day.
Thank you for partnering with us to minimize distractions and maximize learning.
Dear Parents & Guardians,
We know attendance can feel confusing, and we want to help make it easier to understand.
Indiana law (SEA 282) now requires all absences—including excused ones—to be counted in a student’s overall attendance record. But don’t worry: East Porter is committed to partnering with families early to support strong attendance habits.
💡 What you can do:
✔️ Keep reporting absences as always.
✔️ Check out our updated attendance overview and examples of excused, exempt, and unexcused absences.
✔️ Review the East Porter Student Handbook (pp. 6–11) for our updated attendance guidelines. https://aptg.co/FD9plV
As always, reach out to your building principals for more information.
We look forward to serving your family for the 2026-27 school year!
