News from the Counseling Department
Week of April 18, 2016
Honors Assembly Forms
In the senior packet that your senior received at the senior meeting two weeks ago, there were a few forms that needed to be filled out and sent back to CDO. One of those forms was a form that asked your senior to list all colleges that he/she was accepted to, and all scholarships and/or awards that he/she received. This form is very important! We use it to determine who will be recognized at the Honors Assembly, to properly recognize students for their college acceptances, and to complete several year-end reports. This is the only format that we have for collecting this data. Please help ensure that your senior completes this form and returns it to the Administration office by this Friday, April 22. We appreciate your support!
ECAP update
As a friendly reminder, all students should be working on updating their ECAP (Education and Career Action Plan) on a regular basis. Counselors will be visiting the senior English classes on Monday, April 25 to give seniors one final opportunity to finalize their ECAP summary card before graduation. If your senior does not have an English class on the CDO campus this year, please have your student see his/her counselor ASAP to finalize his/her ECAP.
Please remember that students can visit www.azcis.intocareers.org (user name: canyondohs and password: 4azcis02) anytime to continue to work on their ECAP. ECAP summary cards are housed in the counseling office.
SAT/ACT for Juniors
As a reminder, we highly recommend that all juniors who are considering attending a four-year university immediately after graduation take the SAT and/or ACT in the spring of the junior year. There are a few more opportunities to test this school year. The SAT will be given on June 4 and the ACT will be given on June 11. The registration deadline for both is early May. To register, visit http://sat.collegeboard.org for the SAT and www.actstudent.org for the ACT. Please contact your student's counselor if you have any questions!
Service Academy Day
There are two Service Academy Day's coming up for students who are interested in learning more about attending a military service academy after graduation: On Saturday, April 23 at Horizon High School in Phoenix, Senator Flake, Congressman Salmon, and Congressman Schweikert will host their United States Service Academy Conference from 10:00-noon; on Saturday, May 14, at Empire High School in Tucson, Congresswoman McSally with host her 2016 Academy Day from 10:00 am-noon. Both of these events are open to all high school students and their parents. You can find fliers for both of these events in the counseling office.

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.
