Counseling News  

 

Pre-registration for 2014-2015

If your student was absent on the day that his/her English class met with the counselors to submit their course selections for the 2014-2015 school year and hasn't already turned in his/her course selections to the counseling office, please have your student do so immediately. Course requests are being tallied so that the master schedule can be created. If your student does not turn in his/her course selections, he/she will not receive a schedule for next year.

 

Save the Date: Financial Aid Night

CDO will once again be hosting Financial Aid Night on Wednesday, April 9 at 6:00 pm in the CDO Lecture Hall. This presentation will be facilitated by a member of the HEFAR group. Come learn more about the FAFSA, paying for college, and what you can do NOW to help ensure that your student is eligible for the most money possible.

 

Changes coming to the Counseling website!

If you use the CDO website to direct you to the CDO Counseling site, you may have already noticed that changes are being made! Because students are not able to access our website from on-campus (google sites are blocked for students on campus), we have made the decision to change our site over to a Novus site (the district approved site). A huge "Thank you!" goes out to Ms. Paula Evans who has taken the lead on this project and is solely responsible for getting it done so quickly!! As soon as we have the last few pieces ready to go on the new site, we will be shutting down the old site. The new site can be accessed directly at: http://www.amphi.com/schools/cdo-high/counseling-page.aspx.

 

Upcoming College Visits:

  • Monday, March 31, 9:30 am - Grand Canyon University
  • Wednesday, April 9, 6:00 pm - Financial Aid Night (Lecture Hall)
  • Thursday, April 10, 9:00 am - Arizona State University
  • Wednesday, April 16, 9:00 am - Pima Community College
