2022-2023 Schedule Change Requests
Students who would like to request a change to a course they requested for the 22-23 academic year when they met with their counselor in January/February may now do so by completing our Schedule Change Request Form. These requests will be processed on a space available basis by date of request. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but our schedule is tight and some changes will not be available.
Please note that this is not a level change request. You cannot request to move to a higher level course than you were originally recommended for. If this is something you are interested in, you must first reach out to the Department Chair and they will notify us if the request is approved before we would look at availability.
The deadline to request a schedule change is Friday, August 26 to allow time for processing prior to the 1st day of school. Please reach out with any questions!

Tribute to Seniors Information
Senior Parents, post a picture(s) of your graduating senior here. Let us know if they are a Hinsdale Central or Hinsdale South graduate. Brag about their high school accomplishments big or small, and let us know their future plans.
D86 Community, in past years the group moderators have facilitated senior “adoptions.” So many of you have graciously celebrated our past grads by adopting a senior and dropping off small gift cards, baked goods, treats, and decorations. Thank You!!
While we have chosen not to formally facilitate “adoptions” this year, we still encourage anyone wanting to celebrate or support a particular senior student to reach out to the original poster through private message to make those arrangements! The Seniors always love and appreciate being celebrated!
As a community, we have so much to be proud of. These graduates are some of the best and the brightest, some of the kindest and most creative, some of the most compassionate and giving.
Please join us as we celebrate the Class of 2022!
