Using the FSP Home Page

Description

This is the home page for the Foundation Schools Program (FSP). From this page, you can access all of the FSP program modules.

This help system, which is accessed by clicking the Help button located in the upper right corner of the screen, is meant to assist you in navigating through the FSP application, understanding FSP screens and reports, and entering report data. A Help button is located on every screen of the FSP application.

For help regarding a specific module, click Help from within that module.

All FSP modules can be found under Programs in the tool bar at the top of the screen. Clicking Programs in the tool bar displays a drop-down menu of FSP modules. You can navigate to any of the modules listed by clicking on the name of the module in the drop-down list.

 

NOTE:

After selecting a program from the list, that program module appears with its own navigation menu on the left side of the screen.

Once inside a program module, check to ensure that the correct CDN and school year appear in the upper right portion of the heading. See the CDN and School Year help page for information about updating these fields.
