Pima Community College Placement Testing and Orientation
We will be offering placement testing for Pima Community College on Wednesday, April 8 in the CDO library. All students who are planning on attending Pima next year should take this test. Please have your senior sign-up to participate in the counseling office. Students must apply to Pima before they can take the placement test (www.pima.edu). Once placement testing is done, students will be able to attend a New Student Orientation for CDO Seniors at the Pima Northwest Campus on April 22, where they will receive assistance in registering for classes. Please contact your student's counselor if you have any questions.
Summer School
Summer school will be offered this summer through the Amphitheater School District and it will be held at CDO. For specific information regarding registration and courses available, please visit http://www.amphi.com/district/amphitheater-community-schools.aspx or pick up a summer school flyer in the counseling office.
The district will also be offering online summer school again this summer through MDLP. Information about online summer classes is expected to be posted on the district website as of Monday, March 30. Students will need to have a contract signed by both the student and a parent (the contract can be found online and should be brought to the counselor completed when the student comes in to sign-up), as well as an online advisement form completed by their counselor before they can register for online 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.
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!

 Track & Field Update
The Dorados competed at the Willie Williams and Chandler Track & Field Invitationals this past weekend with some outstanding results. At the Willie Williams Invitational, sophomore Turner Washington won the discus competition with a throw of 180'5". That mark is the best in all of Arizona and among the best among high school discus throwers in the country. In the high jump, senior Obang Odol finished 2nd with a personal best 6'8" which also tied the school record. The marks posted by Turner and Obang are automatic qualifiers for the state championship meet. In the girls competition, senior Bridgette Doucet ran an automatic state qualifying mark in the 3200 meter run with 11:12.56, winning easily.
Bridgette and Tim Ronan also competed in the Chandler Invitational Saturday night. Bridgette was entered in the 1600 meter run and broke the 29 year old school record of 4:59.60 with a time of 4:58.12. It was the greatest field of high school girls ever to compete at 1600 meters in Arizona as 12 girls broke 5 minutes for the distance. Tim competed in the 3200 meter run, clocking a 9:40.14 personal best. The marks for both Bridgette and Tim are automatic qualifiers for the state championship meet.

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.
