Cardiac Screening Event at Hinsdale Central

On September 7, 2017 Hinsdale Central students will have the opportunity for a cardiac screening assessment. The cardiac screening event is being administered through the generous donations of the just1mike Foundation, Good Samaritan Hospital and Young Hearts for Life. Michael Brindley, Class of 2018, tragically died on June 22 2016. A rising junior at Hinsdale Central Michael's life and memory will be carried forward through just1mike, a non-profit private foundation. Just1mike will help to raise awareness and fund testing for the prevention of sudden cardiac death in teens as well as work to provide AED equipment, training and emergency preparedness plans for a cardiac event. 

Good Samaritan Hospital and Young Hearts for Life reached out to Hinsdale Central to host a cardiac screening event. The cardiac screenings will be for EVERY student at Hinsdale Central. A not for profit foundation, Young Hearts for Life will bring the screening opportunity to Hinsdale Central in the fall of 2017 at no cost to students or our student's family.

Summer Reading 2017

Welcome you to the 2017 Summer Reading Program.  We are a culture of readers at Hinsdale Central, and we are excited to announce that our program has changed in a couple of ways.  First, we’ve expanded our book lists to ten choices for each grade level.  Second, we’ve asked teachers and staff members in all departments at Hinsdale Central to recommend books, based on themes for each level.  Because of these changes, students have a wide range of books to choose from.  Read the introductory letter here and see the list of books and descriptions here. 

Pushcoin Wallet

With the end of the year quickly approaching, we want to share with you some important information about any remaining balance you might have in your student’s PushCoin wallet. You can go to www.PushCoin.com to check your current balance. If you have never set up access to your student’s PushCoin account, you can find information on how to do that here.

For continuing students, any remaining wallet balance will simply roll over to the 2017-18 school year. Any monies rolled forward can be used any time for student expenditures such as meal purchases, fees assessed at registration and field trips.

Parents of graduating seniors can request a transfer of the balance to a sibling or request a refund. For students transferring out of District 86, parents should submit a refund request.
