Being a Good Neighbor: Traffic Flow

Being a good neighbor begins with recognizing others' space and property. We ask that Hinsdale Central students, staff and parents respect our neighbors property particularly when navigating the area around Hinsdale Central. We would like to remind all Red Devils to abide by signs that are posted in the surrounding Hinsdale Central communities. Vehicles should avoid using the Golfview and Fox Gate communities as a bypass before and after school. Community members have expressed their concern for safety of themselves and the drivers who may not be abiding by the posted signs. Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this matter.

FAFSA Completion

This is a reminder to all seniors that you are required to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or complete a FAFAS Non-Participation Form in order to graduate. If you are choosing to complete the non-participation form, please return it to your counselor.
Schedule Conflicts and Change of Mind Requests

Counselors are currently working through schedule conflicts. If a student selected an alternate course during course selection, we will try to use this course if a course does not work. If we are not able to make the initial course or alternate course work, the counselor will reach out to the student. Once all conflicts are complete, we will notify students of their final course list and will then allow students to make a change of mind request via google form. We anticipate this form being available in late May and will allow a 2 week window for changes to be requested. Please be on the lookout for an email when this form becomes available.
