Dear East Allen County Schools Families,
Welcome back! We are very excited to start the 2026–27 school year with our East Allen County Schools’ families! The first day of school for students is Wednesday, August 12th. A reminder - students will not be released early on this first Wednesday for Collaboration.
Of special importance – EACS has a new Attendance Policy and Cell Phone Policy:
– Due to changes in Indiana Law, ANY and ALL absences count! Students are only allowed up to 5 absences with a parent notification call. Any additional absences after the 5 will REQUIRE a doctor’s note.
- Regarding our new Cell Phone Policy - Due to changes in Indiana Law, NO CELL PHONES or wireless devices will be allowed with your student during the school day. They will be stored away. You can access further information on both of these new policies on our East Allen County Schools website: www.EACS.k12.in.us, under Menu/Parents.
All school delays and closings will be posted on our East Allen County Schools website: www.EACS.k12.in.us, as well as on our Facebook page and Twitter. If you need information regarding the District or a school, please visit the website or call the main office.
We are looking forward to serving the students, parents, staff and communities of East Allen County Schools. We appreciate your support as we collaborate to provide the best possible educational experience for your child(ren), our student(s). I hope that this 2026–27 school year proves to be a huge success for our students and staff.
On behalf of the Board of School Trustees and myself, we wish you a great school year! Let’s Dream it. Do It.!
Marilyn S. Hissong, Superintendent
