NEWS FLASH

Fenton Community High School District 100 wants everyone counted in the 2010 Census!

The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States. All residents - not just U.S. citizens - are counted. For the last ten years the Village of Bensenville has missed out on its share of federal and state funding due to the low response from the 2000 Census -- a mere 56 percent of Bensenville residents responded.

The Census impacts all public institutions, including Fenton High School. The District receives federal and state funds for programs such as the federal lunch program and learning assistance for low-income students based on the Census.

Census data is also used to send federal dollars to the village to support senior services, emergency services, public works and other infrastructure services.

Census Day is April 1. The 10-question form will be mailed to all households in mid-March and must be mailed back by April 1. It is a simple form with 10 questions that should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
The U.S. Census Bureau collects information to produce statistics. Your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court. All Census Bureau employees take the oath of nondisclosure and are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of the data. It is also against the law to publish any of the personal information, including names and addresses that are collected in the census.
For more information, go to the Census 2010 Web site, by clicking on this link: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/index.php.

Fenton Introduces the Late Start Plan

PLEASE NOTE: The Late Start Plan information included below and in the December Bison Bulletin failed to discuss how the Late Start Plan would work on a Thursday. Should the Late Start Plan need to be utilized on a Thursday, which is traditionally a 2:07 pm dismissal day, school will be dismissed at 3:07 pm instead. This release time will allow for as much time in class as possible. As always, if the situation warrants, parents reserve the right to call a student out of school.

Late Start Plan
With the arrival of the colder weather months, Fenton High School District 100 introduces the Late Start Plan. The Late Start Plan allows ample time for roadways to be cleared, therefore providing safer travel for students and staff to school. The Plan also allows for fewer emergency closing days due to weather and other emergencies - therefore hopefully avoiding extending the school year to make-up for emergency closing days.

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.
