Dear DACC Students and Families,

Welcome back! We hope your winter break was a restful and rejuvenating time.

As we get into the full swing of the second semester, students are busy preparing for their Career Technical Student Organization competitions. Our students' hard work will pay off for years to come. They learn new skills, stretch their talents, make contacts, add awards to their portfolios, and build confidence.

We wish them the best of luck as they continue to put their skills up against the best of the best on a regional, statewide, and even national level.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 740-548-0708.

From February 25th - 27th, DACC will administer the State-Funded ACT to all FULL-DAY JUNIORS. 

Benefits of taking the ACT may include:

• Increase in chances of admission to competitive colleges and universities

• Qualify for scholarships and financial aid

• Gauge academic progress and identify areas for improvement

Some reasons why students may not need/want to take the ACT include:

• Preferring the SAT: Your student plans to take the SAT  at their Home High School instead of the ACT.

• College or Career Path: Your student’s post-graduation plans do not require the ACT (e.g., trade school, workforce, or community college).

• Test-Optional Colleges: Your student is applying to colleges that do not require ACT scores for admission.

If you do NOT want your FULL-DAY JUNIOR to take the ACT at DACC in February 2025, please complete this ACT Opt-Out form by  Friday, January 10.

More information about ACT Testing can be found here

At DACC, we are celebrating our 50th anniversary. Today, we would like to acknowledge and celebrate the legacy of our Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) at DACC. For 50 years, these organizations have provided students with invaluable leadership and career development opportunities. We are proud of the countless students who have participated, learned, and grown through these programs. See a full album of photos here.

DACC has an online school spirit store where you can purchase your favorite clothing items and accessories and have them delivered directly to your home. Most designs can be customized to include your lab name or our vision to empower, prepare, inspire, and connect all students.

If you've ever wanted to find out why your child enjoys coming to DACC every day, see for yourself what they experience and learn a little more about their career ambitions. In select programs, we are offering evening classes for adults, including:

• Advanced Welding Intro to TIG PT 3 - 1/21

• Microsoft 365 Word - 01/23

• Microsoft 365 PowerPoint - 2/06

• Fire and Emergency Services Instructor - 2/24

During Academic Hybrid Fridays, all DACC academic students will be expected to complete online assignments in lieu of attending academic classes on Fridays. This academic model emphasizes 21st-century workplace skills, empowers students to utilize technology, improves independence, and provides more opportunities to participate in work-based learning.

Here is a comprehensive FAQ about the program.

At the Delaware Area Career Center, we prioritize the well-being and academic success of our students. If a student feels unwell after they have already arrived on campus, we encourage them to visit the clinic, where our healthcare professional will provide care and support. In the event that a student needs to go home, we will personally contact a parent or guardian to arrange this. The student will then be able to leave directly from the clinic as soon as their ride arrives, streamlining the process for everyone.

We kindly ask that students refrain from directly contacting parents to pick them up during school hours. This approach ensures minimal disruption to classes and allows our teachers to maintain an effective learning environment. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this collaborative effort to support our students' health and education.

Additionally, the system empowers instructors, students, and parents to communicate about skill development and learning achievement.

Visit our website for more detailed information about Canvas, including:

• How to set up an account

• How students can set up a pairing code for a parent or guardian (get started with instructions on how to set up a pairing code here)

• What you can and cannot do with Canvas

• How to download the app

While Canvas provides an interactive view of what is currently being assigned and submitted in a given class, PowerSchool publishes grades and attendance when that information has been finalized and submitted by the instructor. We encourage all parents and students to log into PowerSchool regularly to review these items.

More information about Powerschool and how to set up your account can be found on our website here. Please note that if you are already using PowerSchool at your student's associate district, you will need to create a new account for DACC using a different email address than the email address you are already using for your existing account.
