News from the Counseling Department
Week of May 2, 2016
Senior Parents:
With one and one-half weeks left for seniors, please take a few minutes to ensure that your senior student is passing all of his classes, has completed all of his distance learning classes, and has secured an Early Grade Report form for his Pima classes. If you have any questions about your student's graduation status, please feel free to contact his counselor and/or the teacher of any class that you are concerned about. We look forward to seeing you at graduation!
Website of the Week
Degree Search can help students find majors by college, personal characteristics, and interests. You can utilize the various filters and sorting capabilities to search the best degree for you.
Happy hunting!
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 visited 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.

CDO ODYSSEY OF THE MIND GOES TO WORLD
|
 
Canyon del Oro Odyssey Teams continue the record of excellence that has been set by 30 years of teams. This year CDO is proud to announce that two CDO Odyssey teams will be competing at the World Finals competition the week of May 24th - 29th. These two teams are returning state champs from last year and have successfully defended their titles. We are asking for any CDO parents, teachers and alumni to please donate to our travel fund by dropping off tax credit donations to the CDO bookstore or sending them the Cymry DeBoucher at CDO. Please indicate on the form that this donation is for Odyssey World Finals Travel Fund.
Canyon Del Oro HS scores an Odyssey hat trick by setting a new state record for most Ranatra Fusca Awards in one tournament. On Saturday, April 9th, CDO was awarded the most vaunted and respected award that can be achieved at an Odyssey of the Mind tournament three times. The Ranatra Fusca Award is only conferred when a team or an individual demonstrates outstanding creativity. The three awards were achieved in different categories of problem solving. CDO's sophomore team (Dean Selegue, Garrison Synnestvedt, Micah Secrest, Thomas Gaston, Giang Nguyen, Jason Ronstadt ) was awarded a team Ranatra for a riotously humorous performance that featured inspired ad-libs. They mesmerized an SRO audience which laughed until it cried. The second award was won for the impressive spontaneous problem solving performance by the CDO Administrative team for their out-side-the-gymnasium flexible thinking and remarkable teamwork which saved both the Odyssey tournament and a volleyball tournament. The final award was an individual award for creative problem solving both within the Odyssey program and in the greater community. Robert DeBoucher was awarded a life-time achievement Ranatra for his exceptional performance over 12 years within the program, during which he will have competed in 9 problems at World Finals; as well as his creative contributions to the state-wide Odyssey program.
Canyon Del Oro senior, Sarah Sheldon is the first student is school history to win a state championship in both Academic Decathlon and Odyssey of the Mind in the same year! She will be representing CDO and the state of Arizona at the upcoming Academic Decathlon Nationals (April) and the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals (May)
Canyon Del Oro Odyssey on the Mind team seniors, Sarah Sheldon, Jade D'Auteuil, and Robert DeBoucher have won four state championships in three years! They are looking forward to attending World Finals one last time with new team mates Max Leone (senior) and Cade Walsh (junior).
Please support this phenomenal program by donating Tax Credit money to CDO or donating a donation through CDO Parent Organization (Attn OM) with a check to the CDO Office or paypal link, below.

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.
