We hope everyone has a restful holiday break; we will see students back in the building on January 7th.

Please remember that if your home school is closed and DACC is open, students are still required to be present at DACC for attendance. The home schools provide transportation to and from DACC but not from regular pick-up locations. Please reach out to your local transportation department for more details. For more information about attendance and transportation, please see our website.

We are excited to announce that the application period for the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) is now open. Students are encouraged to check their DACC email for detailed information on the application process. Please note that the deadline for submissions is January 24th at 3:00 PM.

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

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.
