Attendance FAQ

The Delaware Area Career Center Board of Education believes that attendance in school is absolutely essential to the successful completion of the curriculum.

The Attendance Office is responsible for accurately recording and monitoring daily student attendance. Students are to be in school each day school is in session. Parents and students are encouraged to schedule personal appointments after the school day. Students who attend Delaware Area Career Center must adhere to the Delaware Area Career Center school calendar.

Home School Calendars
We work with each home school to align our calendar as closely as possible to each school. Please take a moment to compare the DACC district calendar with your home school's calendar. If your home school has a scheduled day off listed in their calendar but DACC is still in session, your student is still required to attend DACC.
