Sophomore Visit Days - What You Need to Know for Nov 22nd and 23rd
Each year, we have the exciting opportunity to host visits from area tenth-grade students to promote enrollment in our school. This year, due to the pandemic, instructors will host virtual visits and participate in professional development on November 22nd and 23rd.  
 
All current DACC Students will not be reporting to school on November 22nd and 23rd. Students will have the opportunity to complete the following:
 
  • Job shadowing in their chosen career field or 
  • Complete alternative assignments.  
 
Anyone participating in a job shadowing experience should fill out the appropriate forms that will be distributed by CTE Instructors. Lab instructors will be assisting students with job shadowing placements. Students can complete a full day job shadowing experience of six or more hours. This will count as two days of attendance in the lab program as your student is in lab three hours a day. If your student only attends half-day, the job shadowing experience can only be during the duration of the lab, unless you are granted permission from your home school to attend the job shadowing experience all day.  
 
Please note that full-day students will be responsible for completing alternative assignments for academics.   
 
All job shadowing forms and alternative assignments are due to your student’s instructor(s) no later than November 29, 2021.
 
Failure to return the required assignments or proof of job shadowing would mean that the day(s) of school missed will be counted as an unexcused absence(s).
 
We are proud of our programs and believe that we offer unique and valuable educational options for area students. We appreciate your support of this important endeavor.
