News from the Counseling Department
Week of May 11, 2015
We would like to congratulate all of the graduating seniors and their families on their accomplishments and to wish the rest of you a wonderful summer. We will see you in the fall!
Some final thoughts about College Research this summer and the Junior/Senior Handbook
We encourage all students to be engaging in college research this summer, particularly juniors. Juniors should come back to school in the fall with a list of schools that they plan to apply to as the college application season begins in August! The counseling department puts together a Junior/Senior Handbook every year that can be a significant resource for you as you go through the college search process, college application process, and plan for life after high school. Please utilize the handbook! You can find it at:
.
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 posted on the district website (www.amphi.com). 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.
Scholarship Spotlight:
The Rotary Club of Tucson is soliciting applications from Tucson area graduating seniors to compete for potentially multi-year scholarships. They will award several freshman-year scholarships for University of Arizona bound students entering in the Fall 2015. The scholarships pay $1000 per semester at the U of A and may be renewable.

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.
