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.

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.

LEAP for Africa Tomato Sale
The LEAP for Africa club is bringing back their Spring Tomato Sale!! A longtime tradition at Hinsdale Central, please consider purchasing a tomato plant for $5.00 for your vegetable gardens. Instructions on how to purchase or make donations can be found at this link. Pick up will be The Casten House at 3rd St, Hinsdale, IL 60521. Pick up will be Saturday May 12th from 9:00 am-11:00 am.
All the money raised goes directly to the LEAP Schools. South Africa is one of the most unequal societies in the world because of their historically unjust systems. More than a third of the people in South Africa live in need. At LEAP Science and Maths Schools, they refuse to dismiss these communities as lost causes, simply because they are poor. The LEAP Science and Maths schools believe that one cannot remain authentically human while others are prevented, through circumstance, from enjoying the rights and opportunities

Tip Line
District 86 partnered with Navigate360 to develop a new Tip Line that people can use to anonymously report any concerns they have about the well-being of our students, or make us aware of incidents or issues that threaten the safety of our schools or those we serve.
Please visit P3Campus.com or use the free P3 Campus mobile app to submit your tip. Both resources will also allow you to:
- Share photos, videos or other attachments when submitting a tip.
- Follow up on a tip you submitted to either check on its status or provide additional information.
Please contact the dean's office if you have questions or need more information about our Tip Line.
