Page Day FAQ

Will I get a picture with my legislator?

Yes! We will do our best to make sure all students receive a photo with their legislator (both official through the State of Indiana and via IEC). Pictures taken by the state photographer will be mailed to students and pictures taken via IEC will be available through a shared photo site.

Is lunch provided?

Lunch will be provided for students by Indiana Electric Cooperatives. We will also do our best to plan for an educational speaker during this time.

How does the check-in, check-out work?

Pages should plan to arrive at the Senate page office by 8:30 a.m., for registration and orientation. Pages will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m. At the end of the day parents should wait in the hallway and your child will come to you.
