Library Update
While this week has been a short one- Go Astros! it has been eventful. 
Starting on 11/8, since we were off on Monday, we started our Bookmark Design Contest a day late. The bookmark design contest on Canvas allows for students to design (by hand or online) to be featured when the library opens. The top 3-5 designs will be reproduced in color and laminated depending on the designs. 
We have only 7 days until the big move- which means the entire collection is ready to be put up on the shelves as soon as the space is officially ours. We anticipate it will take a week to prepare the space and get the shelves and signage organized to be ready for check out/students. 
Thank you for all of your support in this project!
November is Generation Texas Month, a statewide movement to ensure students have information and resources regarding postsecondary options such as college, career, and military. At this point seniors should have requested letters of recommendation and transcripts, taken the SAT or ACT, and started applications. Students should submit applications as soon as possible. Remember the sooner you apply to colleges and financial aid, the better. Don’t forget to read the weekly Friend-Lee Reminders for Bellaire College Center information, scholarship opportunities and important deadlines. The Bellaire College Center and Counselors have information for all postsecondary options.

The past two weeks Counselors have visited Freshman students during their World Geography classes to complete PGP’s (Personal Graduation Plans). Students were instructed to bring home the parent PGP information for completion in HISD Connect. Remember, the PGP is a state graduation requirement. If you did not complete the electronic PGP, please select the instructions below. Parent Instructions English click here Student Instructions English click here Parent Instructions Spanish click here Student Instructions Spanish click here

Gratitude is the Character trait of the month. For the month of November, lets show gratitude by saying thank you as much as possible. The benefits of gratitude include increased happiness, stronger self-control, and better physical and mental health.

Remember, the Bellaire Counseling team is here to support students with academic, social, or emotional issues. Students don’t need an appointment to visit with their counselor during Cardinal Hour. After the Thanksgiving break, the Counselor offices will be relocated to the new administrative and front office suite.
