On Monday, December 7 the whole district, staff and students will be having a flannel dress up day to show support for Jim Newell. Coach Jimmy is known for wearing flannel shirts to CC & track meets.
In case you were unaware, Jim is in the hospital fighting COVID. Since Jim has always cheered on our staff, students & many of our alumni, we want to be there to cheer him on now.
Please submit pictures wearing Flannel for Jimmy to ichsnhs@illinicentral.org.
A picture collage is going to be made for Jim and his family of our flannel dress up day to show our IC family support.

Dear Parents and Guardians:
As we continue to navigate through these remote learning days, Illini Central is committed to continuing to monitor the health and safety of our staff. To assist us in this task, we encourage you to please keep us informed of any positive COVID-19 cases that involve your child. While we respect the privacy of your family, it will help us to track the spread of the virus within our school community. That information will inform our decisions to re-open school as planned on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. Please know that any information you share will be kept confidential and shared only with those staff who need to know.
We ask that you please share this information with our nursing staff. Please contact the school at 217-482-5180 or email Tonya Harris at tharris@illinicentral.org or Kendra Kelly at kkelly@illinicentral.org.
IC extends remote learning beginning 11/30/20 through 1/15/21. For more information, please check the district website under the "News" section.

Now more than ever, we are more reliant on school technology as a necessary part of your education. Illini Central is trying to make it safer for our students while using the school’s devices and accounts both at school and at home. To do this, we have recently purchased a program called GoGuardian. This program will allow us to keep students safe by giving us the capability of filtering and monitoring school devices and accounts and eliminating online distractions. This program documents what websites, Google searches, and other content are attempted to be accessed on the school accounts and devices.
GoGuardian flags keywords that are involved in searches and websites and notify administration when these websites or searches are accessed with our school devices at school and at home. In this time of remote learning, these devices are a necessary tool. We have the capability to filter out inappropriate content to prevent students from accessing material unrelated to learning.
After grievous misuse, a student’s access can be heavily restricted to only the websites deemed necessary for learning. Students’ use on school devices or accounts are applicable to the Internet Acceptable Use Policy (handbook page 45-46). Any violation of this policy is subject to discipline which will result in, but not limited to, the loss of privileges, disciplinary action, and/or appropriate legal action. Parents will be notified any time a student’s actions result in consequences.
Don't forget that we will resume remote learning tomorrow (11/12/2020) with a GOLD day. Students need to check in with their teachers at the start of each period for attendance in order to be marked present. If the teacher is not there, student should email nbaugher@illinicentral.org and include which class period they are present.
Just a reminder-to sign up for breakfast and lunch program during the closure, please be sure to complete the sign up form at https://forms.gle/vvQeJQgMKNbKVzhGA or call and leave message at 217-482-5180. If calling be sure to leave your name, phone number, address, and number of meals needed.
Illini Central GS/MS/HS will follow remote learning plan 11/11/20-11/25/20. IC Pre-K program will remain in person.
