Class of 2025 Freshman Parent Night and Curriculum Night - TONIGHT
This year we will be offering our Freshmen Parent Night tonight from 6:00 – 6:45 PM, prior to our Curriculum Night which begins at 7:00 PM. This event is now virtual. This program will be offered in a synchronous, live format via Zoom. An email was sent with a zoom link earlier today from your student's counselor.
Freshmen Parent Night will provide you the opportunity to meet with your student’s counselor to learn more about the programs and goals we have for the next four years as we partner for success with you and your student, as well as answer any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
Welcome to our virtual Meet the Teacher Night, not a normal Curriculum Night. While we would much prefer this event to be in person, due to the COVID-19 metrics in DuPage County, we are hosting this event in a virtual format to maintain a safe environment for you and our staff. Below are several links to videos, including guest passwords, prepared by the Building Leadership Team and District 86 School Officials. We hope you find them informative, helpful and that they provide you with a perspective that we are here for your child, our student, and our intent is to prepare them so they may pursue their ideal future.
Thank you and have a great year, please reach out to your child's teacher with questions you may have about our school year.

Senior Portraits Information - UPDATE
If families would still like to have a more formal photo session in addition to the yearbook photo, they need to schedule an appointment with VIP directly at their studios in Wheeling or schedule an appointment at Hinsdale Central the week of Jan. 3-7, 2022 between the hours of 3-8 pm. If you have previously secured an appointment with VIP in October or November, then please disregard this message as it is not applicable to you.
There are 30 min time slot appointments available on a limited basis. Families are welcome to schedule photo sessions with other photographers for senior pictures on their own. Please understand that the only way a senior can be included in the yearbook is to be photographed by VIP during yearbook picture week sessions or by directly scheduling with VIP.
To schedule a photo session with VIP please go to vipis.com, search for Hinsdale Central High School, enter student information and select the Wheeling location. Availability is limited with openings in late October and all of November due to staffing limitations at VIP. This is only for families that have not already scheduled an appointment with VIP previously. Otherwise, availability at Hinsdale Central is open for the week of Jan 3-7, 2022.
