A friendly reminder to seniors: As we enter the holiday season, we would like to remind you that your teachers and counselors are off the same days that you are. If you are in need of letters of recommendation, please plan accordingly so that they can be completed for you on time. Letters that are due on January 1, should be requested at least 2 weeks prior to the end of the semester. Letters requested on the last day of the semester will not be able to be completed in time for a January 1 deadline as many teachers and counselors travel during the winter break and will not be able to access their computers and/or the internet for you.

Parents of seniors, mark your calendar...College Goal Sunday & Saturday TOO! is coming in February

College Goal Sunday & Saturday TOO! is a statewide initiative for students and their family to get free, on-site professional assistance completing the FAFSA, the critical first step in paying for college. College Goal Sunday & Saturday TOO will be held on Saturday, February 22 and Sunday, February 23, 2014. Specific site and time information hasn't been released yet for the 2014 event, but as the event gets closer we will post specifics here or you can visit www.collegegoalsunday.com.

A note about 2^nd semester schedule changes:

Although most CDO classes are year-long classes and schedule changes are not needed at the semester break, occasionally a student may require a change in his/her schedule at semester. If this is the case for your student, please have him/her visit the counselor prior to winter break to have the change processed. Students only have 5 days into 2^nd semester to make any necessary changes and, due to the high volume of traffic in the counseling office at the start of the semester, it is best to make these changes prior to the break when possible and avoid the long lines that form after break.

Upcoming College Visits:

December 9, 9:30 am - Grand Canyon University

December 11, 9:00 am - Pima Community College

Mark your calendar--- Homecoming 2014 will mark the 50th Anniversary of CDO!  We are currently looking for alumni and people who want to plan the tailgate and luncheon. We are also accepting donations.
