Counseling News  

With four weeks to go until final exams, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to regularly check the Parent Portal for grade information for your student. We would also like to ask you to encourage your student to be checking the Student Portal (all students received log-in information several weeks ago) on a regular basis. It is important for students to be aware of how they are doing in their classes and to see missing assignment information early so that they can take care of any problems.

 

Save the Date!

Wednesday, November 20 at 6:30 pm in the CDO Lecture Hall

Financial Aid Night for Seniors

Come learn more about the financial aid process, the FAFSA, and how to qualify for the most amount of money. Financial aid is available for all types of post-secondary institutions. Although this evening is geared towards seniors, all grade levels are welcome. We will be hosting another Financial Aid Night for grades 9-11 in the spring.

See Flyer for more Info:

Another great opportunity....

CDO will be offering the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) for students on Tuesday, November 19 at 9:00 am. The ASVAB is the best aptitude and interest inventory available! If your student isn't sure about what career field he/she would like to go in to, this test can help them explore what they would be good at doing, and what they would enjoy doing (and where those two things overlap!). Please have your student sign up in the counseling office.

 

Upcoming College Visits:

  • Monday, November 18, 9:30 am - Grand Canyon University
