Please remember that you will not be contacted by our associate districts for DACC delays and closings. You will only receive information directly from DACC through the Honeywell Instant Alert System, on social media, and through the news.
Additional questions or special circumstances can be directed to PJ Taylor at (740) 203-2268.

Cold and flu season is here and the holidays is a time we are in close proximity to a lot of family and friends who may be sick. The basics will help keep you healthy. Wash your hands frequently. Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and or sneezing. Getting a good night sleep and eating healthy foods will provide your body with the stamina it needs to get through the day and fight off viruses.
