Don’t let student transportation be frustrating for you or your students. Our goal is to provide you the best possible experience with getting your student to and from school.
Here are some helpful hints that will make your students transportation experience more successful.
• Mornings are rough and sometimes things don’t go as planned. If you need to make a change to your students busing in the morning, please call the Bus Barn at 309.968.3020.
• Please do not call, text, or message a driver or monitor as they don’t always look at their phones and may inadvertently miss an important message.
• Need to make an after school transportation change during the day? Changes can be made before 1:00 PM by calling the Bus Barn or school offices.

Today was the first day back at school for our building staff. We had a meeting and did a little bit of training. The one thing we all agree on is how excited we are to have our students back on Friday! 2024-25 is going to be an AMAZING school year! See you guys soon!
Over the past week, over 30 Midwest Central basketball players have been playing at the Curley "Boo" Johnson Skills for Life Basketball Academy Camp in Dunlap. This camp features over 250 players from Central Illinois and is run by Curley Boo Johnson, who was a former legendary player for the Harlem Globetrotters. For the first time in more than a decade Midwest Central was represented on the coaching staff as Carly DeSutter, Josh Dawe, and J.J. Proehl were selected to be coaches for teams of the younger campers. Of all the schools in the area, Midwest Central had by far the largest representation of athletes in attendance. Congratulations to all the players who worked on their basketball and life skills at the camp and represented our Raider Way!
Hello Raiders,
A quick reminder that school will be starting soon. If you've not registered, please do so soon as it's important for us in scheduling and making bus routes that work. If you have questions about registration, please contact your building office (PS-309.968.6464, MS-309.352.2300, HS-309.968.6766)
With the middle school construction going on that building is closed right now, but any documents can be dropped at the high school or primary school and we will get them to the middle school.
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
