Attendance Procedures

All attendance is handled through the Dean's Office.

We have received many calls from parents unsure of how to handle doctor's appointments and other instances where a student needs to leave school early. Any time your student needs to leave the building, please call the attendance line. It is monitored throughout the day, so please leave a message and have your student check out of the Dean's office before they need to leave.

Our 24-hour Attendance Line phone number is 630-570-8090.

Please use this number to report all absences, including late arrivals and early dismissals. This includes doctor's appointments. Failure to call within 24 hours of the absence will result in an unexcused absence. If you need to call your student out unexpectedly, your student will first need to be excused from the Dean's Office before leaving school.

Students having difficulty with technology, should contact the Hinsdale Central Tech Help Desk at helpdesk@hinsdale86.org or call 630-655-6180. The IT staff can help students reset passwords or repair Chromebooks as well as many other tech issues.
