We are proud to announce that Hinckley-Big Rock CUSD 429 has officially earned the Project ADAM Heart Safe School Designation, a recognition awarded through Lurie Children’s Hospital. This achievement highlights our district’s commitment to the safety and well-being of every student, staff member, and visitor on our campuses. This designation is more than a title — it represents the dedication, preparation, and teamwork of our community in creating an environment where lives can be saved through immediate and effective emergency response. We want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this happen: The incredible Hinckley and Big Rock Fire Departments – your support and collaboration are invaluable. Members of our Certified Emergency Response Teams – thank you for taking the time to train and prepare for emergencies. And a very special shoutout to our amazing health office team – Nurse Emily and Paramedic Abby – for leading the charge, organizing training, and making sure every detail was covered. It truly takes a team, and we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Thanks for helping make HBR a safer place for everyone! — Hinckley-Big Rock CUSD 429

🚨 Safety Alert for Families 🚨 A dangerous TikTok trend, the "Chromebook Challenge," encourages students to insert objects into Chromebook ports to cause sparks or fires. This is extremely unsafe and can result in serious injury and damage. Please talk with your child about the risks and remind them to use technology responsibly. Thank you for helping us keep students safe. #StudentSafety #TechResponsibility #ChromebookSafety
