2021-2022 District Calendar
The 2021/2022 DACC district calendar was just recently approved by the DACC Board of Education.

Please pay careful attention to special days off, such as holidays and spring break. We do our best to align with as many associate schools as possible. However, each associate school district has its own calendar and not all of them will line up with our start date, ending date, and breaks.
Join us online
Following DACC on social media is a fun way to get a behind-the-scenes look at our unique programming and find out what your children are doing while they're on our campus. More than that, though, social media is how our DACC parents receive up-to-date announcements and in the case of an emergency, the quickest way to get information into your hands.
