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!
Once again this year, The Class III would like to help recognize students who show what #WeAreIC means.
To us, #WeAreIC can be represented by many things. It can represent academic improvement, going above and beyond, positivity, selflessness , responsibility, respect, and many other things.
Mr. Crause has recognized Junior Zoey Thomas for portraying what it means to be #WeAreIC.

Correction from previous message: There are no morning or afternoon PreK classes on Thursday.
Good afternoon,
Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 4th, and Thursday, October 5th, Illini Central schools will dismiss at 2:00 p.m. for parent-teacher conferences.
On Wednesday, the PreK afternoon classes will dismiss at 2:00 p.m., and there are no afternoon classes for students in PreK on Thursday.
Parent-teacher conferences allow families to connect with teachers to discuss their students' progress. If you still need to sign up for conferences, contact your child’s teacher or the building secretary to schedule a time.
This Friday, October 6th, and Monday, October 9th, students will not be in attendance at Illini Central. School will resume the regular schedule on Tuesday.
Illini Central CUSD189 will hold a special Board of Education meeting prior to its regular monthly meeting to hold a public hearing on Thursday, October 19, 2023 for the purpose of receiving testimony on the District’s proposed application for waiver of state board rules and/or school code mandates. The hearing will be convened at 7:00 p.m. in the Mason City Public Library. The regular meeting will follow the hearing.
Specifically, the district wishes to submit a waiver of section 17-1.5 of the School Code which limits administrative costs to a maximum of 105% of the previous fiscal year’s expenditure. For Fiscal Year 2024, the district proposes a 63% increase over the FY2023 budget.
This expenditure increase is due to the creation of an assistant superintendent position for the 2023-2024 school year only. This position was created to ease the transition of a retiring superintendent, a retiring bookkeeper, and a new middle and high school principal.
Picture Day will be next week for Illini Central.
Wednesday, October 4th for the Pre-K through the 5th Grade.
Thursday, October 5th for the middle & high school.

There appears to be a glitch when trying to schedule the following teachers: Mr. Damann, Mrs. Van Tine, Mrs. Jasko, Mr. Tobolaski, Mr. Theleritis, and Ms. Lindsay. If you would like to schedule a time with one of these teachers, please send them an email to schedule a time. Thank you, and I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Mr. Kloba
Parents and Guardians,
You may now use Skyward to schedule your parent-teacher conferences. I have included a link to directions on how to schedule your child's conferences. You do not need to schedule a meeting with your child's Advisory, WIN, or support. If you need any
assistance, please call the office. Thank you.

Demolition of the modulars has begun!
As we continue to do our best to communicate with students and families, we are trying to ensure all parents connect using Rooms and the Illini Central app. Teachers and staff will no longer use Class Dojo or Remind to communicate with students and parents.
Parents, you should have received an email with the "magic code" to create accounts and add students. Go to id.edurooms.com and enter the magic code. Do not use an Illini Central account to create parent accounts.
Students, you can go to id.edurooms.com, "Log in with Google," and use your Illini Central Google account.
Once you have created your account, you can use the website or download the Illini Central app. If you don't see the "Rooms" toggle on the app, you may want to update or reinstall the app. Pay attention to the pop-ups as you sign in because that is how you will receive notifications.
If you have difficulties or did not receive your code, please email jdurbin@illinicentral.org.
It's a beautiful day to start demolition! #WeAreIC
