This November, we’re celebrating APPRECIATION—an expression of admiration, approval, or gratitude. Appreciation means recognizing the good in others, valuing their efforts, and showing thankfulness for the big and small things that make a difference every day.
Whether it’s a kind word, a helping hand, or a moment of recognition, every act of appreciation builds a stronger, more positive community. Let’s take time this month to notice, thank, and uplift those around us!
💖💛💚
On November 4th, our teachers and administrators came together for a day filled with learning, collaboration, and inspiration. We are incredibly proud that many of our very own staff members led breakout sessions—sharing their knowledge, creativity, and expertise with colleagues across the district.
Our staff is truly amazing. Their dedication to growing, supporting one another, and continuously improving for our students is what makes East Porter such a special place. We are so grateful to have such talented and passionate educators on our team! 💚💛❤️
Thank you to everyone who presented, participated, and contributed to this meaningful day of growth together!
❄️ Winter Weather Reminder 🧣🧤
As the season turns colder, we want to remind families to check their notification settings and contact information in Skyward Family Access to ensure everything is up to date. If changes are needed, please reach out to your school office.
It’s also a great time to review your family’s early release plans so everyone knows what to do in the event of a weather-related schedule change.
And don’t forget — dress for the weather! 🧥 Please help ensure your child comes to school with warm layers, hats, and gloves to stay cozy during morning drop-off, recess, and dismissal. If your family needs help obtaining winter gear, reach out to your school — we’re here to help!
Thank you for helping us keep every student warm, safe, and ready to learn! ❤️💛💚

What an incredible night of music and community spirit! 🎤🎺🎼
Tonight, the talented bands and choirs from Kouts, Morgan Township, and Washington Township High Schools came together at Washington Township for the annual East Porter County Combined Festival Concert.

This October, we’re highlighting RESPONSIBILITY—the quality of doing what is right, expected, or required. Responsibility means owning our actions, keeping our commitments, and making choices that lead to positive outcomes.
From completing tasks on time to caring for others and our environment, every act of responsibility strengthens our school community. Together, let’s lead by example and show that doing what’s right matters.
❤️💛💚
We are writing to you today regarding a difficult situation involving a teacher at Kouts Middle/High School. We know that when issues like this arise, they can be concerning and unsettling for our community. Please know that we hear your concerns and take them with the utmost seriousness.
As soon as we became aware of the alleged comments made by this individual, we took immediate action and started a thorough investigation. Our priority throughout this process has been, and will always be, the safety and well-being of our students.
During this process, it was determined that it is in the best interest of all stakeholders to part ways, and the teacher is no longer employed with East Porter County School Corporation.
Our commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment remains unwavering. Every member of our staff plays a vital role in upholding our values of respect and professionalism, and we remain dedicated to working together to serve our students and families.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we move forward together.
We’re all familiar with our individual schools of Kouts, Morgan Township, and Washington Township, but how well do you know how East Porter operates as a district? Are you interested in learning more?
We’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the 3rd Cohort of East Porter Academy! We’re seeking 5-6 representatives from each school community to join us on this journey.
Don’t miss this opportunity. Applications will close on September 24, 2025—click the link below to apply!
