Families can find out who their child's teacher for the upcoming school year is by going to Skyward. For some reason, Skyward still has the homeroom teacher listed from last year. However if you look at advisor it will show the teacher for the upcoming year. Also by going to the tabs on the left hand side in Skyward and choosing gradebook or schedule it will also list the teacher for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to the start of the year!

This is a reminder that ALL upcoming kindergarten students must have residency forms on file before beginning the school year. Families can come to the district office from 7:30-3:30 daily or to the main building on August 4 from 2:00-7:00 to complete paperwork. For questions please contact Katie Allen 217-482-5180 Ext. 1802

Good morning: The State of Illinois requires that students entering Kindergarten, Sixth Grade and Twelfth Grade show proof of specific immunizations. The Mason County Health Department will be on campus on Wednesday, August 4, 20201 to provide these vaccinations for Illini Central students. The Clinic will run from 2-3 pm and will be held in the Health Services Building (Modular 1) on the IC campus. No appointment is necessary.

Tuesday, August 3rd at 6 p.m. Illini Central will be holding the Fall Sports Meeting for parents & athletes. At this meeting, parents & athletes will be able to complete all of the forms to participate in sports during this school year. The meeting will also provide a time for the IC coaches to meet with their athletes' parents. This meeting is for all Fall sports, including ICMS Girls' Basketball. There will be two other meetings held later this year for Winter and Spring sports. All athletes must have an up to date physical on file at the school before they can practice.
