Delaware Area Career Center joined more than 40 other career-technical education (CTE) schools at the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday to promote Career Tech Education as part of the Ohio ACTE Student Showcase.

DACC’s Dental Assisting program was represented by instructor Kamal Vilkhu and senior student ambassador Keira Kwak, who shared how advancing technology is being integrated into the classroom.

Learn more about the impact Ms. Vilkhu and Keria had on the OACTE Student Showcase event.

DACC recently partnered with Shale Meadows Elementary School in the Olentangy School District as part of the school’s Health Week Project-Based Learning (PBL) experience.

DACC student ambassadors from healthcare pathway programs led engaging, hands-on sessions for 4th grade students focused on dental hygiene, nutrition, proper handwashing, physical fitness, and safe medication use.

On Hybrid Fridays, students will not attend their Academic classes in person. Instead, they will complete assignments online at their own pace. This model encourages students to take ownership of their learning in a flexible, real-world format. This innovative approach supports the development of essential 21st-century skills such as digital literacy, independence, and time management, while also opening the door for expanded work-based learning opportunities.

Here is a comprehensive FAQ about the program.

At DACC, 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.

At DACC, we are using Canvas as our Learning Management System (LMS). Canvas is a web-based learning management system that gives instructors, students, and parents access to view and manage online course learning materials.

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:

We also use PowerSchool to display student grades and attendance.

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.

Regardless of the first day of school in your home district, transportation will be running from the home schools to DACC beginning August 13th.

If you know in advance that your child will be absent or tardy, fill out the Absence Form found on our website or the homepage of the DACC app.

See our Attendance FAQ for more information as well as calendars to all of our home schools and contact information for home school transportation departments.
