PARENT ORGANIZATION UPDATE
|
Dear CDO Parent Community,
Monies Collected so far, ($940) will help cover the following costs:
Constant Contact: $498.60/year (March)
Staff Appreciation Staff Meals: $1500
Staff Appreciation Events (Bi-monthly) $1000
Our weekly email program: Constant Contact costs us $498.60 every March. With this program we are able to email 2500 email addresses for our CDO community. Please watch your emails, as we will need to purge our email lists for people who no longer want to receive our emails but still get them.
As of yesterday, we paid for the weekly email to continue through next March. We would like to thank the 20 families that have donated to the CDO Parent Organization since our recent email request. As of now, we have received $940 towards our goal of $2998.60 for newsletter costs and staff appreciation commitments for this year.
We are hopeful that more families will donate to support our efforts in providing weekly parent communication and regular staff appreciation events.
Please consider a donation to CDO Parent Org so that we can cover our newsletter costs. If every family that reads our weekly email donated, we could cover all of our costs for our newsletter annual fee and staff appreciation events throughout the year.
Please drop off a donation to the office for CDO Parent Org or use our donate button below. We will provide you with a tax receipt for your donation.
Thanks
CDO Parent Organization

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.
