Thank you to all the 23-24 PTO members! Every dollar of your membership goes directly back to support our students, staff, and to provide resources for all of you!
If you have not joined, visit HERE by 10/31 to register. After the 31st, non-members will lose access to the valuable online directory.
Without your membership, the PTO would not be able to support programs like Post Prom, Devils Diner, Insight Collaboration, Teacher Appreciation, the Parent Network, and much more!
We need your support! Show your commitment to Central Students and Staff by joining today!
We appreciate everyone who took the time to provide input on the most valuable information and topics that the PTO can bring to you! If you have not had a chance to fill out the survey, please do so today! We will be working with Principal Walsh to finalize the topics for the remaining PTO meetings based on what is on your mind.
If you did not have a chance- it is not too late! Please complete this short survey by October 28th
The complete list of PTO meeting dates, times, and topics will be available by our next meeting on Wednesday, November 15th at 6pm on Zoom.
The November 15th PTO Discussion is focused on preparing students for assessments and finals. We will have teachers from the core areas prerecording tips and how students can be supported at home. Ms. Kim, Ms. Galich, Mr. Kostro & Ms. Ketterhagen will present on the core areas of English, Math, Science, and World Languages. Since the teachers will be prerecorded, we wanted to ensure that they would proactively be able to answer questions. We will also take additional questions and bring updates back to you.
District 86 is extending the deadline for completing the Family-School Relationships Survey to give people a little more time to provide their feedback on topics that are critical to the success of our students. At this time, the survey has been filled out by less than 15% of our parents/guardians (target is 35%).
If you still need to take the survey, which will be open until Oct. 23 at 4 p.m., you can do so by visiting https://surveys.panoramaed.com/hinsdale86 and using the access code for your child’s school (6856188935 for Hinsdale Central, 6852383990 for Hinsdale South and 7852119788 for the Transition Center).
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
