The Families Helping Families Committee at Hinsdale Central has been working with the Social Work Department since 2006 to support families at Central that need a helping hand. We are seeking monetary donations from the school community to help us meet these families’ needs. Your donation will help to provide Thanksgiving meals to families as well as to meet urgent needs as they arise, such as gas cards, clothing, etc.
Please consider donating by using the PTO online form and selecting “Families Helping Families” from the committee list.
Thank you for your generous support!

District 86 is partnering with Panorama Education again this year to administer feedback surveys to our students, faculty, staff and families that will help advance the work of our strategic plan. The one we are asking parents/guardians to complete between now and Nov. 16 is the District 86 Family-School Relationships Survey.
This survey, which features 59 questions and is estimated to take no longer than 20 minutes to complete, will cover several topics about your family’s needs and preferences, including:
Below are a few things to keep in mind about the survey and the process for completing it.
In addition to sharing these tips, we want to provide a brief overview of how Panorama calculates the favorability percentages for questions and topics as a whole. These percentages reflect the total number of people who select answers to a question or for a topic that are viewed as positive or “favorable.” Below is a question from this survey that we will use to illustrate what we mean.
How confident are you in your ability to support your child’s learning at home?
In this case, the favorability percentage would be based on the number of people who select the answers Quite Confident or Extremely Confident.
While the answer Somewhat Confident could be viewed as favorable or not favorable, Panorama does not factor it into the calculation. This type of answer, which you will see throughout the survey, is intended to avoid forced choice in the survey-taking process – i.e., when a respondent is required/forced to provide a specific answer (yes or no; I like it or don’t like it; etc.).
In closing, we want to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us. We also want to let you know that we will be using a variety of tools and resources (e.g., email, text messages and social media) to send you reminders about filling out the survey before it closes on Nov. 16 at 4 p.m.
To complete your survey, please look for your unique access link on the email from Panorama Education OR via the survey link and codes above.
If you have trouble accessing the online survey, please contact us at support+hinsdale86@panoramaed.com.
Warmly,
The Panorama Education Team
