It looks more like a gym every day! Current projected completion is late November.
What a difference a year makes! Just a few more months until til we are inside!
Illini Central Schools will dismiss on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. for staff professional development. Afternoon PreK will still meet, but it will also dismiss at 2:00 p.m.
With school starting tomorrow, I wanted to remind everyone of the information about traffic patterns that was shared previously. Additionally, parking/stalling is no longer allowed on N. West Avenue in front of the school or on the block of Pine St. between N. West and Irving. Please use the east parking lot to drop off students and the west parking lot to pick up students after school.
In case you missed it, here's the "Back to School" information shared last week: https://5il.co/2spyd. Please take note of the new procedures for visitors.
Pre-K is starting soon! Parents of new students have been sent an email with new student information. Returning Pre-K students can register online! See you Tuesday for Open House from 5-7pm!
School starts in a week and with the construction on Chestnut/Rt.10 still underway, we wanted to communicate the traffic flow during school hours.
We are trying to prevent traffic through the construction area of Chestnut/Rt.10 as well as trying to avoid traffic backing up on N. West Ave and Chestnut/Rt.10. With the added traffic on N. West and Pine St., it is very important for student safety that parents do not drop off or pick up their children on these streets. Please follow the guidelines below.
For car drop off in the morning, cars should enter from the north into the main parking lot following the same procedures as last year. Doors will not be unlocked until 7:35am.
After school, parents picking up students will need to enter from the west on Chestnut/Rt.10 and turn left into the back parking lot. We will follow the same procedures as we have in the past—cars will form two lines, and students will be sent to the appropriate car.
Leaving the parking lot, drivers will need to follow the signs as far as allowed turns. The back (west) parking lot and the new exit on to Chestnut/Rt10 will be right turn only (turning west on Chestnut/Rt.10). The south exit of the high school parking lot will be left turn only for drivers to exit either going north or east on Pine.
Please refer to the graphic for more details. Once the construction has been completed on Chestnut/Rt.10, we will update you on changes. Thank you for your patience as we navigate through the is together.
