Financial Aid Night
CDO will once again be hosting Financial Aid Night this 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.
The Counseling Website Has Moved!
Because students were not able to access our website from on-campus (Google sites are blocked for students on campus), we 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 took the lead on this project and got it done so quickly!! The new site can be accessed directly at: http://www.amphi.com/schools/cdo-high/counseling-page.aspx. For those of you who had the old site bookmarked, we're very sorry but we've shut it down. You can find all of the same information on our new site that was on our old site.
Pima Community College Orientation
Attention seniors! If you plan on attending Pima Community College next year please be sure to secure your Fall schedule of classes by attending CDO's very own private new student orientation on May 1st from 2-4 pm. The deadline to register for this orientation is April 18 and you MUST register for a Pima student ID number at pima.edu, go to Pima and take your assessments and then return to CDO and see your counselor with your assessment scores before you can register for the orientation. At the orientation you will get registered for your classes and find out how to qualify for additional scholarships. This is a great way to secure a schedule before the general public and the rest of pima county's graduating seniors. You do not have to pay for the classes until August. DON'T wait till after graduation to register for classes - Plan early and be prepared for the next step.
Summer School

Please have your student schedule an appointment with his/her counselor to discuss this further if there is an interest in taking an online summer class.
