DACC strives to provide a safe and inclusive educational environment for all students daily. Students have the ability from their Google Homepage to report bullying, harassment, and safety concerns 24/7 through two options. 

The first option is to report it directly to school administration by clicking on the report link during school hours. This is a secure webpage only for students after logging in with their Mydacc Google Credentials. 

The second option is available 24/7 by calling/texting an anonymous tip line through SaferOH (844.723.3764). We ask that if it is related to school safety after school hours, that you please contact the local police department as well.
