Student Schedules and Books
We anticipate schedules and book ordering information being available in early August. We will communicate how to access this information once it becomes available. Please note that course information that was viewable in Canvas in early July may change, as we are still finalizing student and teacher schedules.

New Website
District 86 is excited to announce that our new websites are now live. Below are links to the main District site, as well as the sites for Hinsdale Central, Hinsdale South and the Transition Center.
Our current websites, which are operated through Blackboard, will remain live until July 15. This means that content from these sites might be included in the results for online searches about the district that are conducted during the transition period. Therefore, we recommend bookmarking the new sites to make it quicker/easier to access them.
Lastly, as is often the case with the launch of new websites, there may be individual items to fix or general improvements to make now that ours are live. With this in mind, we created a form you can use to bring technical issues or concerns (e.g., broken links, outdated content, videos that won’t play, images that won’t load or display correctly, etc.) to our attention. Any submissions we receive via this form, which can be accessed by visiting https://forms.gle/q1gwrmJ6gJMr3Gz5A, will be stored in a central location so we can prioritize and address them as quickly as possible.
We want to thank you for taking the time to explore our new sites and provide your feedback. Please email d86-info@hinsdale86.org if you have questions or need help navigating them.

HInsdale Central Summer Reading Lists
Dear Book Lover,
Summer is quickly approaching! For me, it's the time to begin making a list of books to read by the pool. In the spirit of leisurely reading on long summer days, I wanted to share with you Hinsdale Central's Summer Reading List for 2022. Our list of book suggestions for students is broken down by grade level and theme. The recommendations come from current staff members, student-run clubs, and administration. Depending on your role, you might use this list to share with current students or parents, to help curate your collection, or just review for your own "to read" list. In the fall, students will take a survey about their current reading habits and which book/s from the list they read; students will have conversations with each other or their teacher about their reading lives. Students will NOT be assessed on the book. The focus is on pleasure reading.
Here is a more detailed list which includes links to book trailers and references to who recommended each book.
Thanks for helping support young readers!
If you have any questions or concerns (or book suggestions!) please reach out.
Best,
David Lange
English Department Chair
Hinsdale Central High School

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!
