Illini Central purchased a golf simulator as part of the building addition to the school, and golf team members have been able to participate in open gyms by scheduling times with Coach Scott Francis. Sophomore Elayna Snyder came in early before school to work on her golf game in January, which would not have been possible before this investment in our students. Coach Francis says, "I'm extremely excited to have this for our golfers. I think it will drive a lot of excitement for the program, and I hope the extra practice pays off this fall!"
Illini Central is exploring the option of offering e-learning days instead of traditional emergency days. E-learning allows students to learn remotely from home or another remote location for five hours of instruction. If Illini Central were to implement an e-learning plan, this could be used instead of snow days that have to be made up at the end of the school year.

The Class of 2028 will be taking pre-orders for Krispy Kreme donuts beginning Feb. 3rd.

Orders will be available for pick up on Feb. 18th in the HS by Door B from 6:00-7:30 PM. (Door B is in the front of the HS on the left side...opposite the normal entrance)

Due to low interest and not enough orders, the Class of 2027 had to cancel the Nelson’s Fundraising dinner that was scheduled for January 24th.
Students will be returning money to those who ordered both in person and online within the next 2 weeks.
We are trying to avoid vehicles waiting on Route 10/Chestnut after school, so starting tomorrow, we will have three lanes in the back parking lot. Please follow the directions of the staff directing traffic. Please also ensure you stay close to the vehicle in front of you so that we can keep our pick-up line off the highway.
The school does not dismiss until 3:00, so we prefer that vehicles not arrive until at least 2:50 to keep the parking lot clear in case of an emergency or a parent needing to pick up a child early for an appointment.
While grade school students are dismissed a few minutes early, middle and high school students do not leave class until 3:00. If you pick up a middle or high school student and they are not at the meeting area when you pull to the pick-up area, you will be asked to pull forward, and they will walk to your vehicle.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we ensure students leave school safely.

The HS/MS Announcements today mentioned that The Cougar Center would be open at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon for an open house.
That was incorrect. We apologize for the confusion if you read or watched those Announcements.
The doors for tonight's ICMS Boys' Basketball game open at 5 p.m. not 4:30.
The 7th grade game will tip at 6:00 p.m.
Admission is FREE tonight as we open up the new gym.
