SCHOOL NEWS
Fenton High School Changes to Semester Grade System for 2010-2011 School Year
Beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year, Fenton High School will begin using an 18 week semester grade,
replacing the quarterly grade system used in past years. Courses at Fenton are awarded credit on a semester basis and
in reviewing our grading policies we believe that moving to a running semester grade will give a clearer and more
accurate accounting of your child's progress in class. Progress reports will continue to be distributed
at 4, 9, and 13 weeks with a final semester grade report distributed at the end of each 18 week semester and parent
conferences will continue to be held in October and February of each school year.
Some benefits to a running semester grading system include:
- Easier tracking of student grades on PowerSchool during each semester.
- Clearer and more accurate accounting of a child's current progress in class.
- More accurate tracking of athletic and activity eligibility.
- A grading experience more closely aligned with a college experience.
School Office Summer Hours
During the summer, Fenton High School offices will be open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm and on Fridays from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. These hours are effective June 1 through August 13. Contact the Main Office at 630-766-2500 with any questions.

Message from FCHS100 Superintendent
Fenton Introduces PowerSchool
PowerSchool is Fenton's new student information system that manages student data related to grades, attendance,
course schedules, demographics, etc.
PowerSchool will be replacing Edline as Fenton's primary source for online student information.
Why the Change?
Sasi, Fenton's previous student information system, will be discontinued by the manufacturer in 2010.
With this announcement, Fenton saw an opportunity to improve the way student data is managed.
Errors should be reduced and updates will be available in real time.
How Do I login to the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
The PowerSchool Parent Portal is a secure, web-based system that can be accessed from any location with an internet connection.
The Parent Portal login page can be accessed at the following address:https://powerschool.fenton100.org/public/home.html.
Additional links to PowerSchool are listed under the "For Students" and "For Families" sections of Fenton's website.
Account information will be distributed to students during the first week of school.
In addition, a packet will be sent home that will include usernames and passwords for parents and/or guardians.
How do I use the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
The PowerSchool parent portal is intuitive and easy to use.
The complete user guide for the Parent Portal can be downloaded here.
When will Grade and Attendance Information be Updated?
Attendance will be posted daily to the Parent Portal.
Teachers are required to update grades weekly;
however certain factors may influence when grade updates appear.
Assignments such as an essays or research papers may take longer to grade.
We urge parents and guardians to be patient as teachers do their best to post grades as promptly as possible.
