Important Chromebook and Account Information for Seniors

Graduating seniors will have full ownership of their Chromebooks; shortly after graduation, the IT department will be removing the devices from the D86 Google admin console and the devices will function without any restrictions in place (devices will need to be restarted in order to clear the restrictions).

On Friday, July 31, 2020, District 86 Google accounts and email accounts for graduating seniors/non-returning students will be deactivated. After July 31, 2020 students will no longer be able to access their District 86 Google and email accounts, and the files/messages contained within will be deleted.

If students would like to transfer their District 86 Google Drive files to a personal Google account, they should visit the following website while logged into their school account and follow the instructions: https://takeout.google.com/transfer. Important emails should be forwarded to a personal email account as well.

This feature will be enabled during Graduation Week and will be available until Friday, July 31, 2020.

For a complete explanation of the process, please visit this support article from Google.

Please note: If students are using their hinsdale86.org account on any third party sites or services (i.e. College Board, Dropbox, Pandora, Twitter, etc.), students should make sure they change their contact/login information at each of those sites and services before July 31, 2020. After this date, they will no longer be able to receive notifications/log into these services.

To see which services have been linked to a District 86 Google account, visit the “Third-party apps with account access” and “Signing in with Google” portions of the Google Security page for your District 86 account at https://myaccount.google.com/security.

2020-2021 Schedule Change Requests

Students who would like to request a change to a course they requested for the 20-21 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. Please reach out with any questions!

Summer Math Packets

In order to ensure that students are fully prepared for math class in fall with all of the essential prerequisite skills, we have prepared summer math packets to keep skills fresh over the summer. To access these packets, CLICK HERE , and download the packet that corresponds to the math class students are taking next year. Once students work through the problems, they can check their answers using the solutions we posted there as well. Tutorial links are provided if students struggle with particular skills.

Any questions regarding the summer review packet can be directed to Kurt Vonnahme, Mathematics Department Chair, at 630-570-8420 or kvonnahm@hinsdale86.org.

Summer Reading 2020

Need a break from Netflix? Rediscover your love of reading this summer with the perfect social-isolation activity: binge-reading. Your teachers have hand-selected for you a list of 40 books that will help you escape, make you laugh, or cry, or think. The lists are divided into book lists for each grade level, but feel free to choose any book on any list that you finding interesting. And once you finish one book, you’ll probably want to go back to the list to find another title. You can find the book lists (and links to book trailer videos) here and descriptions of all the books in a slide deck here.
