The ICGS PTO is partnering with 1st Day School supplies to make school supply shopping easy for our Pre-k to 5th grade parents.
The student’s supplies get shipped to the school prior to open house and they will be in their classrooms waiting for them that night.
$5 from each kit that is ordered goes to support the ICGS PTO.
Make sure to place your order before June 30th.

Students are so excited about the annual ICGS Field Day, sponsored by the ICGS PTO!
We're still looking for some parent/guardian volunteers to help the PTO put on this outstanding event.
We extended the deadline to gather interest sheets until this Friday afternoon. Please complete this form by Friday afternoon.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLnhW7VE1QfUuUCgHIXFx2jtKd-ny1N7HRAbyNBalwMGaqtA/viewform
We'll send home a Volunteer Form and Waiver of Liability with your child Monday, and we need it sent back to school by May 21st so we can get it approved and add you to the Field Day schedule.
Field Day Volunteers would arrive at approximately 8am on May 29th to help set up and receive their activity assignments. Field Day volunteers should plan to stay until 10:45am.
We'd love to see you there!

As you probably know, a solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8th, 2024. Students and staff at Illini Central Schools will remain indoors during this time, as will all recesses and PE classes. Classroom teachers may choose to watch the live eclipse broadcast online, but out of caution, we will not allow students to go outside to watch it directly. By the time school is dismissed at 3:00 pm, we will be past the eclipse's peak, and we will encourage students to avoid looking directly into the sun as they leave for the day.
If a guardian wants to pick up their child early from school to watch the eclipse, please contact the office and follow attendance procedures.

It's been a busy week on the construction site! Roof and walls on the Fitness Barn, floors in the shop, and electrical conduit to the building!
