Application Process
There is a very competitive and rigorous application process in order to gain acceptance into The Delaware County Technical School.

A multi-disciplinary team carefully reviews all students’ applications, grades, attendance, and discipline records. All applicants must be in good academic class standing and must meet all deadlines.
Attendance
All students are expected to attend Technical School classes each day that they are present at Sun Valley. Any scheduled early dismissal or known absence must be cleared through the Sun Valley Guidance Office at least two days in advance. Technical School students who become ill during the school day must see the nurse at Sun Valley or Technical School to be sent home. Students will be following the Technical School calendar throughout the year.
Discipline
Technical School students are representatives of Sun Valley High School and are expected to adhere to all Sun Valley and Technical School rules and regulations. Students must adhere to the Sun Valley and Technical School codes of conduct or risk dismissal from the program.
Grades
Grades earned at Technical School will be incorporated into your Sun Valley report card, GPA and class rank. If a student should earn a failing grade in his/her Technical program, the student will not return the following school year.
Transportation
Transportation is provided to and from the Technical Schools. Any violation of the bus rules may result in a loss of bus privileges to Technical School, and the parent/student will be responsible to provide his/her own transportation. Students are permitted to drive or ride with another student provided they obtain a driving/riding permit. These permits are obtained from the Technical School and must also be approved by and provided to Sun Valley High School. Parents and students must sign the permit form, which lists the rules and regulations for diving/riding to and from Technical School. Failure to comply may result in revocation of driving privileges.
