News from the Counseling Department
Week of January 19, 2015
Important Financial Aid Information for Parents of Seniors:
It's time to complete your FAFSA!
College Goal FAFSA (previously College Goal Sunday) provides information and FREE professional assistance to students and families seeking college financial aid. High school seniors who are planning to enter college this year can get free help to complete the FAFSA, which is the first critical step in applying for financial aid. College Goal FAFSA will be held on Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February 8 from 2:00-4:00 pm. For locations and information regarding what to bring with you, please pick up a flyer in the counseling office or visit their website at www.collegegoal.az.gov/college-goal-fafsa.
When going online to complete the FAFSA, please ensure that you are on the correct site: www.fafsa.ed.gov (sites like fafsa.com and fafsa.org are not the official site and they will charge you to complete the form; please remember, the first F in FAFSA stands for Free!). Please also remember that the deadline for filing your FAFSA (and your U of A or ASU application) in order to be considered for the Arizona Assurance (U of A) or the Obama Scholars (ASU) program is March 1. Students who file their FAFSA, or complete their application, after this deadline will not be considered for either of these programs.

CDO ANNOUNCEMENTS
DRESS CODE
- HEY DORADOS! This is a reminder that the dress code is still in effect. Ladies, your tops must have straps on the shoulders, no showing or exposed undergarments and your midriff, front and back, must be covered. Open or exposed backs on shirts are not allowed, either. Gentlemen, same for you: no exposed undergarments, no tank tops where the armpit hole extends to the waist, no exposed midriff and no images or language on shirts that violate the dress code. Dress code violators will be directed to Mrs. Henkel in Counseling where they will exchange their top for a CDO t-shirt. Keep it classy CDO.
STUDENT IDs
- A GENTLE REMINDER ABOUT IDs: IDs must be worn and displayed while on campus by all students. Around the neck or on the bag facing front is perfectly acceptable. In the pocket or out of site is unacceptable - students must have it on and showing. If you don't have it on or showing in front you will most likely receive a lunch detention. Thanks for your thoughtful cooperation.
