WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR CLASS Hopefully, you are all settled in and getting adjusted to school by now. You will have the opportunity to receive a Junior Newsletter like this one several times during this year.

The newsletters will also be posted to the school website which you can find under www.BellevuePublicSchools.org where you click on Schools and then Bellevue East. The current newsletters will be posted under the Newsletter tab and previous ones will be stored in the Counseling Department website along with other helpful information. Extra paper copies will be posted in the Counseling Office. Please share these newsletters with your parents. Listen to the announcements that are read during 3rd hour.

COUNSELOR ASSIGNMENTS In case you haven’t had a reason to come in and talk with your counselor and you are not sure who to look for, here are their names. These three counselors split the students in your class by your last names using the following alphabet ranges:

Mrs. Powell A - G Mr. Chudomelka H - O Mr. Juarez P- Z Note: See your counselor if you need help with your schedule, career plans, college choices, or any personal problems. To talk with your counselor, just put your name on the sign-up log at our reception desk and your counselor will send for you when he or she has time to talk. If it’s urgent, let the secretary know.

SCHOLARSHIPS:

CAREER CENTER Students are encouraged to visit our Career Center and use its services. One of the most important decisions you will ever make is to choose a career. There are several assessments you can take if you are unsure about your future goals. The center is equipped with 25 network computers and they will be helping you during your English classes with career information, college and financial aid information, job search tools, and resume writing. There is a wealth of information that is easily accessible. Stop in before or after school to ask when you might get extra help. You may be able to get an appointment to use the career center during your study hall, if they do not have a class scheduled during that hour. Just check with Mrs. Stiverson or Mrs. Campbell to see when they can help you.

When scholarship opportunities are announced in the Junior Newsletter, see Ms. Toyne for applications. Free scholarship searches can be done in the Career Center or at the EducationQuest Foundation office in Rockbrook Village (108th & Center).

PSAT Testing

Juniors who want to attend a 4-year college or university normally take the ACT test in April and again in October and December of their senior year. You could also choose to take the next ACT test offered at See Bellevue East on October 25th. www.ACTStudent.org to sign up and note that the registration deadline is September 19th.
