- This testing encompasses end-of-course retakes with the exception to Government, therefore not all of our full day academic students are affected.
- All testing will occur at 8:05 AM, therefore some students will be missing lab in order to fulfill this Ohio Department of Education Pathway to a diploma.
- Those students affected will be made aware of their testing well in advance by their DACC School Counselor. If you have questions, please reach out to your designated school counselor.
- DACC has been providing EOC remediation for retakes since September to prepare students for success.

Important Information About Acute Flaccid Myelitis
|
|
This message is being sent to inform and encourage you to be aware of the symptoms of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and to provide you with information. As many of you are already aware, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating several reports of AFM in multiple states, including Ohio. This investigation has generated local and national news media attention, and we realize this has resulted in concerns and questions from understandably worried parents.
AFM is a rare neurological condition that affects less than 1 in a million people in the U.S. each year. AFM affects the spinal cord and is characterized clinically by a sudden onset of asymmetric limb weakness. Cranial nerve paresis, dysphagia and dysarthria may also occur as well. A majority of cases were preceded by fever and/or upper respiratory symptoms; other cases have reported vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms tended to precede weakness by 5 days. The etiology of AFM is unknown but causes such as viruses, environmental toxins, and genetic disorders have been suggested.
Although the cause of AFM is not clear, CDC is sharing the following health messages for parents: "parents can help protect their children from serious diseases by following prevention steps like washing their hands, staying up to date on recommended immunizations and using insect repellent."
Parents should be encouraged to seek medical care right away if they observe any of the following symptoms in their child:
- Difficulty moving the eyes or drooping eyelids Facial droop or weakness
- Difficulty with swallowing or slurred speech
- Sudden arm or leg weakness
Additional information is available on the CDC Acute Flaccid Myelitis web page: https://www.cdc.gov/acute-flaccid-myelitis/index.html

National FFA Proficiency Winner
|
 |
|
During the 91st National FFA Convention and Expo held in Indianapolis, Buckeye Valley-DACC FFA member Sarah Lehner was announced as the winner of her National Proficiency Award area! A very small portion (0.007%) of the roughly 670,000 FFA members across the country reach this level of recognition annually. Sarah's road to this honor began with her involvement with the Buckeye Valley Land Lab, where she began raising soybeans after her freshman year. Since then, she has spent countless hours learning about and keeping records on soil health, plant genetics, nutrition, pest management, machinery operation, and marketing. This learning process and associated records were evaluated at a local, state, and national level through a written application, as well as in person interviews with industry experts. Last week, Sarah found herself competing against three other finalists from Alabama, Minnesota, and Oklahoma before finally being announced a national winner in front of 20,000 of her peers.
