2021-2022 Schedule Availability

We realize schedules are not viewable in Home Access. Schedules ARE NOT FINAL. We have been continuing to make changes as we finalize and balance courses. Schedules will be available in the student’s Home Access account on July 20, 2021 for families that have finished registration and residency and have submitted the required health records for 12th and 9th grade students.

Once your schedule becomes available, if you want to make a change, you MUST submit a schedule change request here: Schedule Change Request Form. Please do not contact your counselor directly, as this may delay the change and your ability to get a different course. We have counselors on duty Tuesday-Thursday the remainder of the summer that will process these change requests. Changes are made on a space available basis only and some changes will not be possible. We do not make changes for lunch or teacher requests. 
Student Schedules and Home Access Center

Starting on July 20, 2021, students can log in to HAC [Home Access Center] to access their schedule, ID number, locker assignment and bus route. Schedules can be found by going to the HOME icon and clicking on the 2021 Student Schedule link.

Parents/guardians of incoming freshmen will receive a separate email that includes instructions about how their student can access HAC. Please expect to receive this email before Friday, July 16, 2021.
    
Please visit https://d86.hinsdale86.org/Page/1590 for information about how to create or access your HAC account. Please note that only a student’s legal guardian can create a HAC account. In addition, the number of features that are available in HAC will be limited prior to the start of school: Residency Verification & Registration / Schedules & Exclusion.
Fees and Textbooks

Starting on July 20, 2021, fees and textbooks will be uploaded to PushCoin and MBS Direct.

Return to School Update for 2021-22

Dear District 86 Community,
 
During the board of education meeting on June 23, I provided an interim update about our return to school plan for the 2021-22 school year that was focused primarily on the latest information from the Illinois Department of Public Health. You can access this update by visiting https://bit.ly/3gQnrKL.
 
As part of this update, I shared that, per the resolution passed by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) on May 19, all District 86 students will resume in-person instruction on a full-time basis when the 2021-22 school year begins on Aug. 26. Barring any changes to the guidance at the local or state level, the only people who may be considered for an exception (i.e., remote learning) include:

  • Individuals who are not eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., people under the age of 12).
  • Individuals who have a documented medical condition that prevents them from getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Please note that this only applies to the students themselves. It no longer includes other people in a household who have a health issue. 

Students who have a documented medical condition that prevents them from getting the vaccine may request to start the school year in a remote instructional model. In these cases, we will work with parents/guardians to create or modify a 504 plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP) for their children. Any student who begins the year learning remotely will be enrolled in and receive their instruction through the Illinois Virtual School. 

If you have a student with a documented medical condition and would like to learn more about the remote learning option, please use the form found at https://bit.ly/3d6xadU to request additional information.

Thank you for your time and attention to this message. 

Sincerely, 

Tammy Prentiss
Superintendent

2021-2022 Schedule Change Requests

Students who would like to request a change to a course they requested for the 21-22 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 the 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 20 to allow time for processing prior to the 1st day of school. Please reach out with any questions!
COVID-19 Vaccination Notification

If your child has been vaccinated and you would like to file the COVID-19 vaccination with Hinsdale Central, you may complete the following steps. While a COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory, having the records on file at the high school will streamline the process for quarantining your child. If you wish to file your child's COVID-19 vaccination with Hinsdale Central's Health Service Office, please fax (630.570.8599) or email (centralhealth@hinsdale86.org) the card to the Health Service Office.
