Good Morning,
On September 19th, Juniors and Seniors will be attending a fair at the Workforce Center at LLCC. Lunch will be provided for them. We look forward to them experiencing this opportunity to explore post- graduation options. If you have any questions, please reach out to the counselors.
What a difference a year makes! Just a few more months until til we are inside!
Illini Central Schools will dismiss on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. for staff professional development. Afternoon PreK will still meet, but it will also dismiss at 2:00 p.m.
Please see the attached video of the 2024-25 ICMS/ICHS activities rules presentation.
This video was created in place of the annual sports meeting that was held in the fall. Any student that plans on participating in an extracurricular activity is expected to view the presentation, along with a parent/guardian.
All 6-12 students will also have access to this video in their school email. Students and parents will need to sign off that they viewed this video, along with the other requirements. That paperwork can be found on the table in front of the HS office.
Here is the link: https://youtu.be/s6ifxaA10yc
The presentation can be found on the Illini Central website on the top of the Activities page.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Athletic Director Ryan Burks at rburks@illinicentral.org
We are so excited to have students back in the building today! Just as a reminder, school dismisses at 2:00 today. Please make sure you follow the guidelines regarding pick-up procedures for this afternoon. We hope your students have a great first day!
With school starting tomorrow, I wanted to remind everyone of the information about traffic patterns that was shared previously. Additionally, parking/stalling is no longer allowed on N. West Avenue in front of the school or on the block of Pine St. between N. West and Irving. Please use the east parking lot to drop off students and the west parking lot to pick up students after school.
In case you missed it, here's the "Back to School" information shared last week: https://5il.co/2spyd. Please take note of the new procedures for visitors.
School starts this Wednesday. Make sure you have registered your student for school prior to the first day. We still have many students who have not been registered. Registration is on Skyward for returning students. New students must be registered in person. The office is open from 8:00-3:00 to register students and answer any questions.
School starts in a week and with the construction on Chestnut/Rt.10 still underway, we wanted to communicate the traffic flow during school hours.
We are trying to prevent traffic through the construction area of Chestnut/Rt.10 as well as trying to avoid traffic backing up on N. West Ave and Chestnut/Rt.10. With the added traffic on N. West and Pine St., it is very important for student safety that parents do not drop off or pick up their children on these streets. Please follow the guidelines below.
For car drop off in the morning, cars should enter from the north into the main parking lot following the same procedures as last year. Doors will not be unlocked until 7:35am.
After school, parents picking up students will need to enter from the west on Chestnut/Rt.10 and turn left into the back parking lot. We will follow the same procedures as we have in the past—cars will form two lines, and students will be sent to the appropriate car.
Leaving the parking lot, drivers will need to follow the signs as far as allowed turns. The back (west) parking lot and the new exit on to Chestnut/Rt10 will be right turn only (turning west on Chestnut/Rt.10). The south exit of the high school parking lot will be left turn only for drivers to exit either going north or east on Pine.
Please refer to the graphic for more details. Once the construction has been completed on Chestnut/Rt.10, we will update you on changes. Thank you for your patience as we navigate through the is together.

Remember...tomorrow Thursday, August 1st is New Student/In-Person Registration for this upcoming school year starting at 2 p.m.
Enter the building through Door A (the main high school entrance) and someone will be able to direct families where to go next.
Students entering 5th through 8th grade this fall are invited to participate in the upcoming ICMS cross country season. Practice will begin on Monday, August 5th. All practices before students return to the classroom will be held from 8:00 am - 9:00 am. We will meet by the track shed (between the softball field and track). Once school is in session, practices will be after school from 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm.
Our first meet will take place on Saturday, August 24th.
Please make sure all physicals are complete and athletic fees are paid.
If you have any questions over anything cross country related, please email Coach Darcy Toland (dtoland@illinicentral.org).
Look forward to getting the season started.
