Dear DACC Students and Families,

Thank you for another great week of learning and engagement. It’s energizing to see our buildings filled with activity and students fully immersed in their educational experiences. Already, students are diving into hands-on projects and meaningful learning opportunities.

If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 740-548-0708. We’re here to help!

We’re excited to begin Academic Hybrid Fridays beginning Friday, September 5th! 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.

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.

To ensure a smooth and successful experience for everyone, here are a few important reminders:

• Need to be on campus? No problem. Students who choose to be at DACC on Fridays are welcome. They’ll be asked to remain in their Academic classrooms for the duration of their regularly scheduled class times.

• Lab access is limited. Students may only be in their lab during their scheduled lab times, even on Hybrid Fridays.

• Attendance matters. Just like a traditional school day, attendance is recorded. To be marked present, students must submit all required assignments by the designated deadline. Missing the deadline without prior approval will result in an Unexcused Digital Learning Absence (DLA).

We’re proud to offer this opportunity to help students grow into independent, future-ready learners.

Here is a comprehensive FAQ about the program.

In a few weeks, DACC students will have the opportunity to connect with local employers through a part-time job fair. 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 September 25th from 6-7 pm!

The program will feature a presentation on key workforce trends shaping Central Ohio, followed by a panel of experts from healthcare, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries. 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!

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:

• 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

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.
