Through heatwaves, rainy days, and everything in between, Food Service Director Roger Urick, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and East Noble Transportation kept their promise to make sure no child went hungry. A heartfelt thank-you goes to our incredible community for showing up and making this program possible. Because of you, children had access to a nutritious meal, a caring smile, and the reminder that they are always part of a community that cares.
A helpful reminder for families: On 45-minute Monday delay days, bus pickup times will also be delayed by 45 minutes from your student’s regular pickup time. We encourage families to keep this in mind as you plan your Monday mornings and know that these additional minutes give our staff valuable time to work together and continue providing the best possible experience for our students. We’re grateful to begin another school year together, with a shared commitment to supporting our students, strengthening our schools, and making each day a meaningful one for every member of the East Noble community.
Pack Day brought the entire school together as students gathered in their Packs, made up of different grade levels, creating opportunities to build new friendships, encourage one another, and strengthen the sense of community that makes North Side so special. New students and staff were welcomed into their Packs today as they turned over cards on the table to discover where they belonged, making the day a wonderful celebration of connection, belonging, and a new year together.
Small bags are $2 and large bags are $5, and every purchase helps fund cameras and equipment so students can continue capturing the memories of the school year. Thank you for supporting our students!
WE ARE A GO!
All buses and schools will run exactly two hours after their regularly scheduled time.
Refer to the regular schedule that occurs on Tuesdays - Fridays, then push everything back TWO HOURS. For instance, if your child's bus comes at 6:30 normally, today it will come at 8:30. If you child's school opens normally at 7:30, it will open at 9:30 today.
See you SOON!
Even with today's 2-hour delay, FREE breakfast will still be served at all East Noble schools for every student.
Due to foggy road conditions, East Noble School Corporation will operate on a TWO-HOUR DELAY today. All schools and buses will run exactly two hours later than their normal schedule.
Example: If your child's school typically starts at 7:45 a.m., today it will start at 9:45 a.m. Simply move bus pickup times, school start times, and other morning schedules back by two hours.
Thank you for your patience as we prioritize safe travel for our students!
As our new facility dog, Drake will bring comfort, encouragement, and countless smiles to students and staff each day, helping create an even more caring and supportive school environment. We are incredibly grateful to Canine Companions for their outstanding training and partnership in making this special addition possible, and we invite you to read the letter from Guidance Counselor Lisa Laur to learn more about Drake and the positive impact he will have at ENMS.
The first day is more than just the start of classes, it's the beginning of new opportunities, new friendships, and another chapter of learning and growth. These photos from South Side Elementary offer just one small glimpse of the excitement and warm welcomes shared throughout all of our schools this morning.
As the 2026-27 school year gets underway, we invite our community to stay informed and engaged. The East Noble School Board will meet on August 5 at 6:00 p.m. at the Central Office.

We know it is exciting to share those adorable first-day photos, but the Kendallville Police Department and East Noble School Corporation urge parents to use caution! Posting your child's name, school, grade, teacher, and even favorite activities can give predators or scammers information they can use to target them. Keep your posts fun while protecting your child's privacy by leaving out personal details.
Things NOT to share:
- Personal identifying information
- School name
- Teacher's name
- Grade
- Specific personal information (interests, favorites, security info.)
Share the smiles and the excitement, but without sharing the specifics, Together, we can help keep our kids safe this school year!
We proudly welcomed and celebrated our new teachers and staff members, while also hearing an inspiring message from last year’s ENSC Corporation Teacher of the Year, Avilla Preschool Teacher Anita Zollars. After a morning filled with connection, encouragement, and important conversations, our staff headed back to their respective schools to prepare their classrooms and buildings for the brand-new year ahead. We are so grateful for the incredible people who make up our East Noble family and are excited for all that this year will bring!
We can’t wait to welcome our Avilla Elementary School, North Side Elementary, Rome City Elementary, South Side Elementary, Wayne Center Elementary School, East Noble Middle School and East Noble High School students and families back for Back to School Night tonight from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at all East Noble schools. Come reconnect, meet your teachers, explore your school, and get ready for an amazing year ahead!
As we head back to school next Wednesday, August 5th, our roads will be busier with students walking, riding bikes, waiting at bus stops, and riding school buses. Please slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully for students near schools, bus stops, and roadways.
Always remember, when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, STOP. These signals are there to protect our students as they safely get on and off the bus.
Indiana School Bus Stop Laws:
Two-Lane Roads: All motorists must stop.
Multi-Lane Roads Without a Barrier: All motorists in both directions must stop.
Multi-Lane Roads With a Grassy or Concrete Median: Only vehicles traveling behind the bus must stop. Traffic traveling in the opposite direction does not have to stop.
Every stop matters. A few extra moments of patience can help protect a child and prevent a tragedy.
Let's work together to keep our students safe on the way to school and back home each day!
Our newest Knights had the opportunity to step inside their new school, get familiar with their surroundings, and begin taking those exciting first steps into their high school journey. We are incredibly grateful to our administrators, High School Student Council members, teachers, and staff who did a tremendous job giving students tours, answering questions, and helping them feel comfortable and right at home. We’re so excited to welcome the Class of 2030 to the East Noble High School family and look forward to watching them learn, grow, make memories, and accomplish amazing things these next four years!
