Get Ready for the 2023-2024 School Year!

  • PTO REGISTRATION & DUES– Please go here and register with the PTO and pay PTO Dues. By registering, and paying dues you will receive all our communications for the year (we share super important things like Spirit Lunches, Spirit Weeks, and other CHMS Happenings) and gain access to our online directory. We’ve Gone Green for the 2023-2024 School Year and will NOT be printing a paper directory. Your PTO Dues help cover our operating costs such as insurance, website, subscriptions and contribute to student and staff initiatives throughout the year. We appreciate your support!
  • SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS– Please go here and buy your School Supply Kits for the 2023-2024 School Year. This is the easiest and most cost effective way to get ALL of the supplies needed, and is a PTO Fundraiser. The kits will be delivered to your homes over the summer. Please bring the kits to Back to School Day in August. We will remind you.
  • VOLUNTEER– The PTO wouldn’t be successful without help from our community. We are in need of volunteers – especially at theExecutive Board Level of VPs (it’s not that scary or hard – we promise!). There are many other opportunities available as well.  Please check out them out here. If you have questions please reach out and let us know – natarelli@gmail.com / meganmannor@yahoo.com

Friday: Lil Deb’s food truck co-sponsored by Kelly Kirchheimer from @properties.

Thank you CHMS for joining us at the Wellness House Walk

Thank you to all the participants from CHMS for joining us at the Wellness House Walk last weekend. The walk raised over $760,000 for the Wellness House to continue their mission of providing free supportive programming for people affected by cancer.  To make it even more special, CHMS students performed “Can’t Stop the Feeling” to honor Mrs. Bennington during the opening ceremonies.


Advocating for your child’s needs means identifying the RIGHT resources and people

If you have found that special HERO who helped with your child’s learning, developmental, emotional or health issue, pay your insights forward by contributing your anonymous positive review to The Parent List.

It takes only three clicks and some brief provider information to help another local parent navigate a tough situation. Submit your insights  HERE

The Parent List contains first-hand feedback from school District 86, 63 and 181 parents about doctors, therapists, and other providers that have helped address childhood anxiety, depression, school avoidance, eating disorders, insomnia, peer relations, grief, stress and more.

To read existing Parent List reviews of providers, go to hcpto.org/parent-list/

Questions can be emailed to: parentlist@hcpto.org

In no way does the Hinsdale Central High or Clarendon Hills Middle School PTO or staff, school districts 86, 63 or 181 endorse or recommend any specific provider reviewed on The Parent List. The Parent List is a subjective forum set up by the Hinsdale Central PTO for your convenience. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for deciding to use any of the service providers on The Parent List in any capacity, and school districts 86, 63, and 181, and the Hinsdale Central and Clarendon Hills Middle School PTOs disclaim all liability for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, or claims of any kind arising out of the provision of services by anyone or any agency appearing on The Parent List.
