BELLEVILLE EAST STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

JANUARY 24, 2022

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

THE DAILY GRIND IS OPENING ON MONDAY! We are looking forward to getting the cafe open for you this semester but we will need your help keeping it open. When coming to the cafe, make sure you are wearing a mask and it is being worn correctly. We are also going to ask you to leave the library once you have purchased your order. We are trying to keep large groups from gathering in the library and stopping the spreading COVID. Social distancing will also be enforced. Again, we are very excited to open but we will need your help to keep it open. Looking forward to seeing you next week!

In the meantime, here are some ideas for career exploration that you can do from home.

1. Access O*Net.  In their tool My Next Move, you can access lots of information about different career paths including informational videos at the top of the career field.  You can search careers by listing a specific career or in a general field of careers. Check it out!

2. Check out the College and Career Readiness website for more ideas!

LIBRARY NEWS:

LIBRARY PASSES  Students request their passes through this  link on the library website and must request the pass prior to 9:30 am.  You will receive an email letting you know if your pass was approved or denied.  Students will have to remain in the library for the entirety of the period to limit traffic.  Like last year, this will allow us to safely control the amount of students in the library. 

• Study hall passes are limited to TWO per week

• Library will be closed to passes during hours there are classes in the library.
