Appropriate Dress for School

Posted by Mary Titus on 04/30/12 under DACC Culture

Spring is here! The sun is shining and the temperature is increasing! This is great news as we’re all looking forward to spending more time outside. However, this also means that students will be wearing clothing that matches the outdoor temperature and not necessarily the cool temperature of our building. 

While the outfits many of our students wear are trendy and stylish, some don’t follow the guidelines for dress and appearance. Please check the student handbook (page 16) to review with your son/daughter to ensure that they are wearing the appropriate attire for school.  If your son/daughter is wearing inappropriate attire for school, they will be asked to change or cover up. We do have some attire in the Main Office for students to use; however, we don’t have much available and I’m sure our students would not be excited about wearing the borrowed clothes.

Students Show Their Growth in Spring

Posted by Anne Wisniowski on 04/24/12 under DACC Culture

Spring is a season of growth for many reasons.  Plants grow and blossom but it takes both rain and sunshine to make that happen - so it is with students. They come to the DACC from various home schools within our Career and Technical Planning District.  Big Walnut, Buckeye Valley, Delaware City, Olentangy Local, and Worthington City send students to embark upon a journey toward college and career readiness.  Westerville City sends students to the DACC through open enrollment, and the Ohio School for the Deaf also has a concentration of students attending our programs.  The DACC student “garden” has a beautiful, accomplished, and diverse student population.  

Spring is when we accept new students to our programs for the coming school year.

Posted by Mary Titus on 04/23/12 under DACC Culture

We are thrilled to share that prom was a complete success last week!  We sold just shy of 200 tickets and that’s exactly how many showed up to dance and have a great time!  

All the students looked incredible…from the girls in stunning gowns and hairdos to the guys in their best suits and tuxes.  The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the prom Queen and King along with the Princess and Prince.

North:
Queen: Tiffani Penhorwood
King: John Weldin
Prince: Tyler Brigode
Princess: Misty Margo   

South:
Queen: Taylor Robinson
King: Nick Dummitt
Prince: Shawn Wallace
Princess: Hannah Clegg

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us put this event together.

The GED Test Is Changing - Now Is The Time To Take It

Posted by Cindy Wolfe on 04/20/12 under ABLE/GED

Time is running out!  The GED Test is changing Jan. 1, 2014.  The new test will be more challenging and more expensive.  Also, for anyone who has taken the GED test and not passed all of the sections, the scores will expire when the new test is released.  

I encourage anyone who needs a GED to get started now.  We have evening classes from 6:00 to 8:30 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays until June 21 at the South campus.  Following a two week break, classes will resume July 9.  

The daytime classes at the Vineyard Community Center will end May 31, but our evening classes (Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:30 PM) at the Vineyard Community Center will continue until June 21, and again have a two week break with the evening classes resuming July 10.
