Hinsdale Central Starts Year on a Friday: Are We OK With This?

We asked about the late-week start to the school year and our Facebook fans answered.

We asked Patch's Facebook fans what they thought of Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South having their first day of school on a Friday this year. 

Here are some of the responses so far: 

  • Laurie Berg Sent 3 of my 4 boys there this morning! Peace and quiet....ahhhh. Feels great!
  • Patricia Vasicek wow, I went to my freshman year at Central, and was a member of the FIRST GRADUATING CLASS OF HINSDALE SOUTH!! It has been a long time. . .since I have seen the front doors of Central! wow! thanks for the memory! Living in northcentral WI for 40 years now. 
  • Summer Stevens Heil As the mom of a freshman, I like the Friday "warmup." Plus, I need the three days to strategize a better way to navigate drop-off!
  • Beth Pellant Lopez It's better than the 1/2 day that requires parents to take a whole day off of work if you ask me.
We also asked on Twitter and got some response:

  • @CjNikoBran3h: Hinsdale South too, its a little weird but I think it's good because teens stay up later than they should, ease them back :)
