Dear DACC Students and Families,

On Thursday, December 5th, we hosted our annual Open House, welcoming future students and their families to explore everything DACC has to offer. Our current students played a key role in the event, serving as tour guides and program ambassadors. We appreciate their professionalism, hospitality, and the confidence they displayed. Their presence in our building that night left a lasting impression on our visitors.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success!

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

On November 14th and 15th, DACC’s SkillsUSA officers joined thousands of students from across Ohio at the Regional Fall Leadership Conference in Columbus. The event featured inspiring workshops, networking opportunities, and meaningful moments of leadership development. Highlights included Jadyn Parrish’s successful campaign for Regional Office, a dynamic speed networking session, and valuable insights from sessions on time management and career planning. Our officers showcased professionalism, teamwork, and pride throughout the event.

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.
