DACC Reminder

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the field trip to the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC). All sophomores who have registered for the field trip both by filling out the mandatory DACC preference form AND completing and turning in the field trip permission slip will be spending the day exploring the opportunities available at the Delaware Area Career Center.

We have a TON of students who will be making this trip! It will be a great day to investigate possible career paths, learn about the options available to earn elective credits while also learning practical, hands-on skills, and to see a really incredible school environment.

Tomorrow, after the visit, the application to be a student at DACC for next year will open. You will have until early January to be able to complete the application and be considered for a spot. The reality is that there will be far more students interested in going to DACC than there will be seats available. That is just one of the challenges with DACC being a partner with so many different school districts - lots of students are going to be hoping for the same seats. But you have to apply to give yourself a chance. 

If you missed out on the opportunity to go on tomorrow's field trip and still want to have a chance to explore DACC for your future, there are options. On December 9th DACC will host a Senior Only 1-year Program Open House event. On December 11th DACC will host a general Open House for all of the traditional 2-year programs. And on December 12th DACC will host Group Family Tours. You can learn more about all 3 of these options on the DACC website in their events section and register for those you are interested in completing.
