Rotary Scholarship Application- Class of 2025

The Sunbury Galena Rotary, Delaware Rotary, and Olentangy Rotary Clubs are offering scholarships to graduating seniors who will complete a two-year program at DACC. Applicants may utilize the scholarship dollars to pursue further education in their field, to purchase needed tools for their chosen vocation, or to pay fees (i.e., needed certifications or licensing) required for beginning the occupation for which they’ve been trained. Last year, we awarded over $30,000 in scholarships to around twenty students.

Selection Criteria:

Applicant must complete the required application.

Applicant must be a graduating senior and a completer of DACC. Preference will be given to Delaware County Students.

Consideration will be given to academic accomplishments, community service, extracurricular activities, career objectives, and financial need.

The committee, comprised of members of the rotary clubs, will interview applicants and notify them of their decision by mid-May at the DACC Senior Awards Ceremony.

Delays and Closings

When DACC is delayed or canceled due to weather, you will receive instant alerts through the contact information you provided at registration. Alerts will be sent to you by email, phone call, and text message. If you download the DACC app, you will also receive a push notification on your phone.

In addition, notices will be posted to our website and social media accounts.

When you receive the delay or closure alert, make sure you know what to do by referencing our Delay & Closures page on our website. Many parents bookmark this page for future reference.

Fees

We would like to remind you that fees for the 2024-2025 school year are now due. You can check your fee balances on PowerSchool. Additionally, charges have been applied to the accounts of students who have received a new Chromebook. For more information, visit the fees webpage or reach out to Lilian Robinson at 740-203-2230 if you have any questions.

Illness Procedure

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.

Attendance and Transportation

Regardless of the first day of school in your home district, transportation will be running from the home schools to DACC beginning August 14th.

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.
