IASB praised Mr. Figueroa for being a board member who continually shows dedication and desire to learn leadership skills and gains knowledge of state and national educational issues. Mr. Figueroa is constantly showing his commitment in serving the Fenton Community, our students, our parents, our staff, and our community.  He devotes considerable time to  North DuPage Special Education Cooperative (NDSEC), DEI, Facility initiatives, Kermes fundraisers, Fenton Foundation, Padres Unidos, Board Training, and all of the IASB events.  It goes without saying that Leo is a recognized leader in our community and his efforts produce greater access to education and more opportunities for our children to enjoy their learning experiences.  

 

 

 

Because of Mr. Figueroa’s ongoing commitment, he has earned the designation of IASB Established Board Leader. It’s a prestigious honor bestowed upon a limited number of long serving school board members. Our Fenton District 100 School Board congratulated Mr. Figueroa at Wednesday’s board meeting.

 

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Figueroa!

Community Service is a unique and cherished graduation requirement at Fenton High School. Volunteering one’s time and energy to improve their community creates common ground, builds empathy, and unites us as neighbors.

 

 

Thank you to our neighbors and community partners for allowing our students to learn and grow from your passions. Thank you to all our students from Bison Nation who stepped out of their comfort zones to help a worthy cause. 

 

We have finished removing asbestos from Classroom 201 and have begun the restoration process. We are still part way through the asbestos abatement in the Front Gym, but we’re making good progress.

As a reminder, A certified asbestos abatement company, Celtic Environmental, is under contract to perform the work and a third party is present to monitor air quality, as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

 

Room 201 and the Front Gym have been sealed off with two layers of thick temporary barrier bubbles along the walls and ceilings. All air inside the rooms is replaced by industrial strength air HEPA filters every 15 minutes. We have been assured that all work has occurred normally, without any leaks or abnormal air quality. 

 

As you have likely noticed, one of our doorways on the front side of the building was closed for a few days. Door 2 is located near the ARC, in between the science and world language hallways. While installing a new storm sewer drain near the entry we also decided to address the degraded slope and poor quality of the sidewalk. We completely removed the sidewalk, changed the elevation of that pathway, added a French drain system near the door, and then poured fresh concrete. Water should not pool or flood in that area anymore. The new sidewalk will be easier to walk on and will more effectively redirect water toward a new stormwater sewer.
