Please be aware that due to a power outage at Morgan Township, phone lines across our district communication network are currently down at Kouts and Washington Township.
If you need to contact your school immediately, please reach out directly to the building principals via email:
Kouts: kari.hinkle@eastporter.k12.in.us or jillian.blakley@eastporter.k12.in.us

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these technical issues!
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!
