Activities

It’s officially August, and school starts in less than two weeks! We compiled some helpful information all in one location to hopefully answer some of the most common questions. You can find the link here: https://5il.co/2spyd. This document is also linked on the website under “District Information” and “For Parents” for future reference.

Students entering 5th through 8th grade this fall are invited to participate in the upcoming ICMS cross country season. Practice will begin on Monday, August 5th. All practices before students return to the classroom will be held from 8:00 am - 9:00 am. We will meet by the track shed (between the softball field and track). Once school is in session, practices will be after school from 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm. Our first meet will take place on Saturday, August 24th. Please make sure all physicals are complete and athletic fees are paid. If you have any questions over anything cross country related, please email Coach Darcy Toland (dtoland@illinicentral.org). Look forward to getting the season started.

ICMS Softball practice will be starting on Monday, July 29 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Did you know that students entering kindergarten, 6th and 9th grade must have physicals? Did you know anyone participating in school sports must also have a physical? You can receive a free physical in Lincoln! More details about the free event are on the graphic.

Middle School Cross Country Informational Meeting There will be an informational meeting for parents/guardians on either Tuesday, July 16th or Thursday, July 18th at 6:00 pm for all new and returning runners for middle school cross country this Fall. You only need to attend one session as the information shared will be the same at both. We will meet at the track shed (between the track and softball diamond). Cross country is open to any incoming 5th through 8th graders. We will talk about this upcoming season, paperwork needing to be completed, sports physicals, and answer any questions that might arise. If you happen to have any questions prior to the meeting, please contact me at dtoland@illinicentral.org. If either date does not work for you, I will be willing to meet with you separately. I am excited to get this new season off and running. Look forward to meeting with you next week! - Coach Toland #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

Correction from the last message with an incorrect date...this will take place tomorrow March 14th. The date in the previous post was wrong.

On Monday, a tragic bus accident took place involving staff and students from the Rushville-Industry school district. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy and we want to help. Tomorrow, Thursday March 13th, we will be hosting a Hat Day at Illini Central to raise money for the families of those involved in the accident. Students can donate $1 or more to wear a hat to school that day. All of the proceeds will be given to the families of the victims. Middle School and High School students can make their donations in the gym before school and receive a sticker to show they have made a donation. Grade School teachers will collect the money from their students in the morning. Thank you for your support.

Just a Reminder: Illini Central schools will dismiss Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 11:30 am. Teachers will participate in school improvement planning activities in the afternoon. There is no Pre-K on 2/28.
