School will resume tomorrow, March 6th. Please check your email, or the school website, for more information regarding today's cancellation.
At roughly 4:30 this afternoon, during scheduled maintenance, the Illini Bluffs administration was made aware of a concern regarding the water quality in our schools. As a result, the administrative team met with a team of individuals who worked collectively to address the issue. The team also received guidance from the Department of Health, medical professionals, and poison control to ensure our students, staff, and faculty were safe. During our discussions we also contacted Illinois American Water and were assured the water in the community was not affected.
Student and staff safety is our top priority. A qualified agency will be conducting testing throughout the schools on Thursday, March 5, to ensure safe and useable water. A decision regarding after school activities Thursday, as well as school on Friday, will be made based on the results of water testing.
If you have any questions, please contact the Illini Bluffs District office at (309) 389-2231.
School is cancelled tomorrow, Thursday, March 5th. There will be no school, no before/after care, and no activities before or during normal school hours. We will make decisions regarding Thursday’s after-school activities tomorrow afternoon.
This evening, after school hours and during scheduled maintenance, the school began experiencing a water issue. We hope to resolve the issue as soon as possible. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
IBES 5th grade students took a field trip today to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield.

On Monday, Mrs. Herrmann's second graders took a trip to the HS library to read with Ms. Gresham's U.S. Issues seniors. Last semester, these seniors wrote CF Industries grant proposals, and one of the proposals that was funded was an environmental bookmobile for the elementary school. This was a great opportunity to take advantage of our K-12 campus; Illini Bluffs is lucky to be able to experience learning together, across grade levels.
IBHS Cheerleaders are working with IBES students to prepare for Little Cheerleader night on Saturday Feb. 15th at 5pm.
Mrs. Herrmann's class is learning about Abraham Lincoln for President's Day! #ibtigerpride
IB Stakeholders,
Undoubtedly, you have seen media coverage on the Coronavirus. A meeting was recently held with Jason Marks, Director of Emergency Management and Preparedness, from the Peoria City/County Health Department, the Peoria County Regional Office of Education, and superintendents from Peoria County. The purpose of the meeting was to educate the superintendents about this virus and to answer any questions.
At this point in time, there are no known cases of Coronavirus in Central Illinois. If it appears in our schools, it will be handled like any other virus has been handled in the past. This includes educating our students on the importance of hand-washing, staying at home when exhibiting signs or symptoms, and appropriate cleaning practices within school.
Please click on the link below to review documents from the Peoria City/County Health Department and the Illinois Department of Health.
