News from the Counseling Department
Week of March 23, 2015
Please save the date for our upcoming Financial Aid Night!
The Counseling Department will be offering another Financial Aid Night, presented by the HEFAR Group, on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:00 pm in the CDO Café. Freshman, sophomore, and junior parents, this is the perfect time to start learning more about how to help pay for your students' college education!
ECAP Reminder
As a reminder, an Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP) is a graduation requirement for all Arizona students. The Amphitheater district is using a combination of the internet based AzCIS program and a hardcopy "ECAP Plan" sheet, in addition to the many other ECAP supporting activities offered on a regular basis to students and parents (i.e. college fairs, evening presentations, classroom guidance lessons, resume writing, etc.), to help students meet this requirement. AzCIS allows CDO students full time access to exploring, creating, and researching their ECAP.
The CDO counseling department is working in partnership with classroom teachers to assist students in using this program throughout the school year as they develop their ECAP. Students and parents are encouraged to log on to this system at any time and work together in developing a functional ECAP.
To access the AzCIS system, please visit www.azcis.intocareers.org and use the user name: canyondohs and password: 4azcis02. Students will then create their own accounts for future use.
The overall goal for the ECAP is to formulate a post high school career pathway. Each student is expected to have a clear plan to either be prepared to directly enter the workforce, attend a junior college, trade school, technical school, university or enter the military. Research shows that a well thought out post-high school plan offers a student an opportunity to meet with early success as they begin their journey toward a rewarding career.
Please ask to see your student's AzCIS portfolio and talk with them about their plan. Thanks!

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.
