Dear DACC Students and Families,

Veterans Day is on Monday, November 11th. We want to take a moment to thank all members of our military, in all branches, past and present, living and lost. Your sacrifices, bravery, and the example you set for us all are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your service!

A special thank you to the veterans serving on our high school staff - Brooke Ashby, Steven Blankley, Tina Francis, Richard Mason, and Robert Swonger.

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

Over the past few weeks, DACC students have had the opportunity to connect with local employers through healthcare and biotechnology career expos. Now, parents can gain insights directly from industry leaders and learn about the skills their students will need to succeed in the future workplace.

Join us for a Future of Work event at DACC on November 13th from 6-7pm!

The program will feature a presentation on key workforce trends shaping Central Ohio, followed by a panel of experts from biotechnology, healthcare, and life sciences. They will share what’s on the horizon for these growing fields and discuss the “future-ready” skills that can set students up for success.

Join us to learn more!

On October 18, 2024, eight student officers from the DACC SkillsUSA Chapter attended an Officer Leadership Conference at Deer Creek Lodge in Mt. Sterling, OH. The conference was a chance for students to go through leadership sessions and help them prepare to run their local chapter for the school year. Sessions included topics such as How to run a Community Service Project, How to Run a Chapter Meeting, Job Interview Skills, and more. Students left with a wealth of knowledge to share with the chapter members at DACC.

SkillsUSA is the largest CTSO at DACC with over 450 members in 11 different CTE programs.

To mark this special occasion, we’re inviting all DACC alumni and former staff to join us for a 50th Anniversary Reception.

Full-Day Students Only

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.
