News from the Counseling Department
Week of March 2, 2015
Course Selection for 2015-16 is now complete!
If your student was absent on the day that his/her English class went to the computer lab to enter their course requests for next year, please have your student submit his/her completed course selection sheet to the counseling office ASAP. If your student needs help selecting classes, please have him/her make an appointment to see his/her counselor.
Students who plan on taking a first hour class next year and have not already submitted a First Hour Contract (which includes a parent signature) to the Administration office are reminded that those contracts are due no later than this Friday, March 6. If your student has not picked up a First Hour Contract yet, it can be picked up in the counseling office. Please note: IB students will all have a first hour class and do NOT have to complete a First Hour Contract.

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.
