Over the last few days, we know there has been a lot of discussion regarding the Illini Central High School volleyball program. The Board of Education does not plan to make any changes to the volleyball coaching staff. The board looks forward to working with all coaches in order to provide quality programs for our students. The board welcomes community input and encourages the community to contact either the school administration or the school board with any concerns.
It's an exciting morning at Illini Central! The first delivery of steel for the new addition has arrived! We should start to see walls in the next few days. #WeAreIC

Just a reminder that middle school students will participate in our yearly Erin's Law Presentations. Parent letters were sent home with students last week and should have been signed and returned only if parents do NOT want their student(s) to participate. If you did not sign a letter but do not want your child to listen to these presentations, please let Mrs. Arms know ASAP.
Good afternoon,
Tomorrow, October 31st, Illini Central Schools will dismiss at 11:30 a.m. for school improvement meetings.
Pre-K will have their Halloween Half Day tomorrow from 8 a.m.-10:30 a.m. There will be no bussing for Pre-K students; they must be dropped off and picked up from school.
As tomorrow is Halloween, preK and grade school students may wear their costumes to school for the spirit day as long as they do not include masks, weapons, or gore.
Middle and high school students wishing to wear their costumes may do so if they pay $1 outside the office in the morning. Money collected will go towards the community projects of the Interact Club. All costumes must be school-appropriate and follow the guidelines of no masks, weapons, or gore.
We hope everyone has a warm and safe Halloween!
Jennifer Durbin, Ed. D.
Assistant Superintendent

High school students who qualified for our PBIS incentive will have ice cream and a movie day on Tuesday, October 31st. We will also be having a door decorating contest to match our PBIS Character Trait of Kindness for the months of November and December. Students who qualified passed all their classes and had no referrals. Students who showed significant improvement in their behaviors received a "turnaround award" and are attending also. We are so proud of our students for all their hard work during the 1st quarter! We hope all students will qualify for the second quarter's incentive!
