1. Central's E-News. In order to sign-up for the weekly E-News listserv emails, a person must go to the HCHS website (http://central.hinsdale86.org/) and register to receive these emails. You will easily find the ‘blue mouse’ icon for registering for these emails. This is an “opt-in” system; we understand that not all parents want to receive the weekly “news email” so we provide a choice. 2. Home Access Center (Online Grade Portal). Separate system. Most families recently received a letter from the school with log-in instructions and information. If you did not receive this letter, or misplaced it, please contact Vivian Kane (vkane@hinsdale86.org). You will need to provide Ms. Kane with your student’s name, I.D. number, and the parent(s) name. Ms. Kane will be able to generate a password for you. 3. Naviance (College Information). Separate system. If the student is a sophomore, junior, or senior, the student/parent must contact the Guidance Counselor to register and receive a log-in. If the student is a freshman, he or she will receive log-in instructions and information after the end of the first semester. 4. Sharepoint. Separate system. Students have access to Sharepoint sites; there is no separate parent log-in. From home, students must go to the Hinsdale Central web site (http://central.hinsdale86.org/). At the top of the page is aSharepoint link. At the link students will be asked to log-in. Their log-in is STUDENTID#@hinsdale86.org. If this log-in does not work, they should first check the link on the log-in page that will help them trouble-shoot. If this does not work, then they should ask any teacher they have to put in a HelpDesk ticket for them. In order to access Sharepoint from home, a student must have first logged-in to Sharepoint through the school’s network at school. Not all teachers have Share Point sites for their classes, but many do.
If a student needs to change their network password – because they forgot it or lost it – they should go to Central's Library and ask a Librarian to re-set their password.
