Construction is moving right along!

IC schools will dismiss on Wednesday, 1/31/24 at 11:30 am.  A Pre-K activity is planned from 8-10:30 am at the West Campus building for both morning and afternoon students. There is no bus transportation for Pre-K students and parents are welcome to attend. 

On Wednesday, January 31st, student and staff will have an opportunity to “leave a mark” on the new addition at Illini Central. Throughout the day, students will be able to sign their name or place stickers on the beam that will be the main structure for the entrance into the new addition. This will be encapsulated once construction is completed, but the marks will remain forever.

On January 18th, Illini Central held its 2024 Career Fair. They had 18 participants, in which the kids got to talk and communicate with. They got to learn about different colleges and all the different fields to work in. We appreciate all those who attended and hope to see you next year.

Senior Parents and Students, Tonight's scheduled FAFSA night is rescheduled for Tuesday, March 5th, from 6-8 pm.
