KUDOS CDO STUDENTS & FAMILIES

 What a great weekend to be a Dorado!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for all of your support of Costco's Shop Night!! Thank you for creating great lists of your classroom needs, reminding parents and students, coming out and shopping, sending your students to represent CDO and your programs, and last but not least thank you to the teachers that came out that night and helped us in so many ways. We had such a great turn out and took the event by storm! CDO was so well represented and everyone knew we were there and even better we were there for the right reasons!! We had terrific school spirit while being respectful of the other schools and offering to help everyone no matter what school others were shopping for. I was so proud of the students for being the bigger people on many occasions and showing what a phenomenal school CDO truly is. As Paul mentioned we received a very nice email from Basis complementing our students and how wonderful they were offering to help everyone and loading people's vehicles and all of the Basis paper at the end of the night!
If your students were there please tell them THANK YOU again for me!! All of the items have been distributed out to teachers/programs. If your name was directly given by the person donating then it was sent directly to you. Department Heads received the bulk Kleenex and Clorox wipes to be distributed by them. |

PSAT registration starts Monday, August 24th.
The PSAT is both a practice SAT and the qualifying exam for the National Merit scholarship (when taken in the junior year). The PSAT is only offered once a year and CDO will be giving it on Wednesday, October 28th. Please note that typically the PSAT is offered on a Saturday, but this year it will ONLY be offered on a Wednesday. Sophomores are encouraged to take the PSAT as it is good SAT practice test. For Juniors, this is the qualifying exam for National Merit. When students receive their scores back, they will also receive their test books and all of the answers to the questions, making this an excellent study tool for the SAT! Registration takes place in the BOOKSTORE and the cost of the exam is $25. There are a limited number of tests, so have your student register now to reserve your spot!

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.
