Teacher Tuesday!

08/01/2026

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!
