As practices and games begin, this is a great time to bookmark the Travel Document on the Fessenden-Bowdon School website. The document is updated throughout the season and includes bus departure times for all athletic events.
Checking the travel document is the easiest way to stay up to date on when teams are leaving.

Please submit a copy of your student's completed physical to Fessenden-Bowdon School.

Fessenden-Bowdon School is excited to announce that we are transitioning from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus as our new Student Information System (SIS).
Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, Infinite Campus will be the primary platform for accessing important student information, including:
- Class schedules
- Attendance
- Grades and report cards
- Parent and student communication
- Emergency contact information
Infinite Campus offers a modern, user-friendly experience that allows families, students, and staff to access information through both a website and mobile app.
What Families Need to Know
Parent and student accounts will be created before the start of school.
Account activation and login instructions will be shared later this summer.
Transition Timeline
Summer 2026
- Transfer student data from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus
- Staff training and system setup
- Parent account information distributed
Fall 2026
- Infinite Campus officially launches at Fessenden-Bowdon School
- Parents and students begin using the Campus Parent Portal, Student Portal, and Mobile App
We understand that changes in technology can bring questions. Fessenden-Bowdon School is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our students and families. If you need assistance, please contact the school office.
Thank you for your patience and support as we implement this exciting upgrade.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Before the end of the school year, students in grades 7-12 had the opportunity to review the 2026-2027 class schedule and select their classes for next year. We are excited about the opportunities available to our students and are looking forward to another great year at Fessenden-Bowdon.
In August, I will share dates and times when students and parents can meet with me to review schedules, discuss class selections, and ask any questions they may have.
If you would like a copy of your child's schedule before then, please feel free to email me at lindsay.widicker@fessenden.k12.nd.us, and I would be happy to send it to you.
Thank you for your continued support of our school. I hope you and your family have a wonderful summer, and I look forward to seeing everyone again this fall!
Sincerely,
Lindsay Widicker
PK-12 Principal
Fessenden-Bowdon School
