Hello Raiders,
We've had a huge response to online registration. That's Awesome! Currently our provider is experiencing online payment difficulty. We've shut that feature off for now. You're still able to register, but you'll need to go back in later to pay your fees. We'll get back to you once we know online payments are working again.
Sincerely,
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.

Although no one really likes wearing a mask, we're doing what we can to help keep everyone safe. ;-)

Also, here's a big shout out to the Midwest Central High School Cheerleaders for helping unload food today for Saturday’s give away.


Good morning Raiders. Please remember to register for your HS sports online. Click on the following URL link to get to the registration page. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CUMWOcaOy0KxKBgbihjfBXNqZPhcbx1GgitYJByQ8nFUOFZIREQ3WjdBNFVMWEVaS01GUVhXSDhSNC4u


Coach Richmond says, “I know the masks seem like a step back. But I’m using this as an opportunity to teach our players to overcome adversity. This will make us better and stronger. We are teaching them how to pivot in life when things don’t go exactly your way. But look at us! Still getting after it!”


Hello Raiders,
I'd like to start by thanking you all for your patience and understanding as we continue to develop our fall plans to return to school. I know you have questions and concerns on many levels. The Board of Education and Administration have been discussing the situation all summer and we continue to be focused on returning 5 days a week to in person instruction. We have the safety of all our students and employees in mind as we look at various options. Naturally, in person learning will look different than it has in the past. We will have to navigate social distancing, face masks, and illness.
I learned this morning that the State Board of Education and the Illinois Department of Public Health will be holding a meeting this Friday to discuss the return of students to in person learning. We expect further guidance to come from that meeting next week. Our intention is to provide families a plan towards the end of next week. I realize many area districts are already announcing their plans; however, I feel many of these are premature and will ultimately need to be altered.
I appreciate all those that completed our survey and we're using that information to develop our plans. Please look for our plan to be published towards the end of next week. It will be emailed to all parents and posted on our website www.midwestcentral.org
Thank you again for your support of our district.
Very Best Regards,
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.

The Illinois School Code and ISBE Rule require that public-school students take the state’s final accountability assessment, currently SAT with Essay, in order to receive a regular high school diploma, unless exempt. Because the incoming senior class did not have the opportunity to take the SAT this past spring they will need to take the SAT this fall. ISBE has set the test date for October 14, 2020. Incoming senior students may want to begin reviewing for this test. Resources for test review can be found at https://www.khanacademy.org/sat
