Dear Parents, Students, and Guardians,
On behalf of the entire Delcastle Technical High School staff, I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year. It is an honor to continue serving as Principal of this exceptional school community, where students are supported by a dedicated team of educators, counselors, and support staff who believe in their potential and are committed to their success.
This year, we remain focused on the mission of S.E.T.ting our students up for success—through deliberate efforts to Serve, Empower, and Transform every learner who walks through our doors. You’ll see these values in action across all parts of our school—from the classroom to the shop floor, in our athletic arenas, and throughout our many clubs and student groups.
At the heart of our school is a commitment to career and technical excellence. Delcastle continues to be a leader in preparing students for in-demand careers through high-quality CTE programs that combine hands-on learning with real-world application. We are proud to offer rigorous, industry-aligned instruction that leads to valuable certifications and credentials, giving our students a competitive edge in both college and the workforce. This year, we will continue to strengthen these programs and ensure that every student has access to opportunities that align with their interests and aspirations.
We are especially excited to expand opportunities for student voice and leadership, strengthen our approach to literacy across all content areas, and continue building a culture of collaboration and inclusion. Our Flex Period will serve as a hub for enrichment, SAT prep, academic support, and student affinity groups, helping each student grow both personally and academically. Additionally, we are enhancing co-teaching supports for multilingual learners and emphasizing instructional strategies that help all students engage in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and reasoning.
As always, we recognize that education is a shared journey, and we deeply value the partnership between home and school. Together, we will create the conditions for each student to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
This newsletter includes important updates, summer highlights, and need-to-know information to help you prepare for the start of the year. Let’s make this year one of growth, connection, and purpose. Welcome back, Cougars, your best chapter yet begins now.

ATTENDANCE AND ELECTRONIC NOTES
ATTENDANCE AND ELECTRONIC NOTES
School attendance has a direct impact on student success, which is why it is important for students to attend regularly. When students are not present they miss classroom instruction and activities that help students learn important content and skills needed to meet course requirements. We recognize that there are some situations that require a student to miss school time. In these situations, a student's guardian should submit an electronic note by accessing the Infinite Camput portal, and navigating to attendance (Click Here). A note should be submitted if a student is or will be absent, is arriving late to school, or needs to leave early from school. The notes are kept on file by our attendance secretary, Mrs. Palmer. For more information, please reference Section IV - Attendance of the Student/Parent Handbook.

Transportation Information- Bus Information will be communicated in Mid-August
Transportation Information- Bus Information will be communicated in Mid-August
Bus Pass Information
Bus Pass Information
Delaware Department of Education regulations do not permit students to be assigned to more than one bus. The Transportation Office can only route a bus to one address per student. This address is the address that was on the initial application and is listed as the physical address on file in the school data system. Bus passes will only be issued for Court Ordered Split Custody situations, in which the second guardian's address must be verified by the school and listed in eSchool. Passes will NOT be issued for the following reasons:
Employment (i.e. to get dropped off closer to the student's job, including their coop job)
Staying with a relative or friend overnight or for the weekend
Aftercare
Getting off at a different stop on the same bus
Once bus passes are issued there are conditions that apply:
Passes are issued to the closest stop on an existing route to the second address. We will not re-route a bus or create a stop. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a safe walking path, and it is expected that the student will be picked up and dropped off from the stop that is listed on the bus pass.
The Transportation Office will not communicate your student's schedule to the bus driver. The expectation is that your student will communicate their schedule to the driver.
You will not receive the “all calls” with updates or changes to that bus route. You only receive calls for the bus your student is assigned to.
The student must always carry the pass in case there is a substitute driver on the bus.
The pass is only valid if there are seats available on the bus.
Passes can be revoked for behavioral issues or if a bus reaches maximum capacity (48) of students who are regularly assigned.
Prior to the start of the school year, all bus pass requests should be directed to the transportation office.
School Breakfast & Lunch Information
School Breakfast & Lunch Information
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are looking forward to serving your student breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria! It is not mandatory to complete a meal benefit application, but students who have not completed a meal benefit application and received notification from New Castle County Vo-Tech School District that they were approved for school meal benefits for the 2025-2026 school year will need to pay for lunch on the first day of school. The price of a school lunch is $1.75. Students who are approved for free or reduced-price meals will be eligible to receive school lunch at no charge. All students, regardless of meal benefit status, will receive free breakfast.
Nutrition Services is now accepting meal benefit applications, and we encourage you to send your student's form in now to be processed before the start of the school year. If you would like to apply for meal benefits for your student, please complete the form online by visiting www.nccvtns.com.
If you have students in another school district, please note that you must complete a separate meal benefit application for each school district. Additionally, meal benefits received for students in another school district will not automatically transfer to your student in the New Castle County Vo-Tech School District.
If you need help with applying for free or reduced meals or need a paper application, please contact the Nutrition Services Office at 302-995-8066.
You may also add money to your student's school meal account using PayPams. You can create an account, add funds with a credit card, and monitor student cafeteria transactions by visiting www.paypams.com. We also accept cash and check deposits at the register in the school cafeteria to add money to your student’s meal account.
You may reapply for benefits at any time during the school year. If you are not eligible now but have a decrease in household income, become unemployed, have an increase in household size, or qualify for SNAP or TANF benefits, you may fill out another application at that time.

Drug and Alcohol Modules - Asynchronous Assignments
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In accordance with Delaware Regulation 551, all high school students are required to complete 15 hours of Drug and Alcohol training each academic year. At NCCVT, we prioritize drug and alcohol training as a fundamental aspect of our commitment to student well-being and academic success. By educating students on the physical, emotional, and social impacts of substance abuse, the State modules described below are designed to foster informed decision-making and resilience against peer pressure, supporting their long-term personal and academic goals.
To fulfill the 15-hour requirement, the state has developed online courses in a Schoology class titled “State Modules.” We have incorporated four asynchronous days into the school schedule to facilitate the completion of these modules (dates are provided below). This course is credited as pass/fail and will be noted on your student's report card. Students are encouraged to retake assessments and review resources as needed to complete the modules successfully. Our school counselors are available to assist with any questions or concerns regarding the content of the modules.
We will send reminders throughout the school year to assist students in staying on track; however, we are asking for your assistance and support to encourage students to complete these important modules successfully.
Thank you for your attention. We are looking forward to another successful and productive school year.

Mental Health Programming - Erika's Lighthouse
Mental Health Programming - Erika's Lighthouse
Mental Health Programming in NCCVT Infographic_09-20-2024 (1).pdfDear Parents/Guardians,
We want to take this time to inform you of the training your child will be receiving during the fall semester. In accordance with House Bill 301, which requires Delaware public schools to adopt and implement mental health programming, NCCVT has chosen to implement a mental health and depression awareness program called Level III: Depression Education & Suicide Awareness. This program was developed by a highly respected mental health education and advocacy organization, Erika’s Lighthouse: A Beacon of Hope for Adolescent Depression. Leading up to the training, students and families will be notified with more details about the in-school training.
The program goals include:
Raising awareness of good mental health.
Raising awareness of the signs of depression and risk and warning signs of suicide.
Reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
Encouraging help-seeking skills and, if necessary, additional support services.
A key component of the Erika’s Lighthouse program is Family Engagement through education and awareness. They have developed two ways that may help promote conversations with your children about mental health and depression:
“We All Have Mental Health” was written by parents, for parents. It is designed to help you understand and promote good mental health at home. It is part of the Family Workbook Series on Mental Health & Depression. Access it here.
A short On-Demand Virtual Family Workshop is available for you to watch. This workshop will give you an opportunity to learn more about mental health and depression in adolescents, and prepare you for any discussion at home. We will also review the materials that your child will be learning about in the classroom. You can view the workshop here.
These fact-based, student-friendly and hopeful programs promote the messages we need our students to hear - Everyone deserves to have good mental health, depression is common and can be serious, but there is hope and help. You are not alone.
Our school wants all of our students to be healthy, both physically and mentally. We encourage students to take control of their mental health and learn how to seek help for themselves or a friend if needed. One of the biggest challenges to mental health is teen depression, a very common, yet widely overlooked mood disorder that will impact 15–20% of young people before they reach adulthood. It is also a risk factor to suicide.
We look forward to working together to better inform students of important issues, like depression, and provide the tools students need to navigate challenging times.
All these programs are donor-funded and no-cost to schools like ours. For more information on this program, please visit erikaslighthouse.org.
SB290Erin's Law Programming in NCCVT Infographic_09-23-2024_Final.pdfDear Parents/Guardians,
We want to take this time to inform you of the training your child will be receiving during the fall semester. The Delaware General Assembly passed Senate Bill 290, which expanded the educational programming on personal body safety, sexual abuse and other forms of child abuse to students in grades 7th through 12th.
For this reason, your child will be participating in educational programming that will discuss sexual abuse and other forms of child abuse and ways for your child to get help and support. Teachers will be conducting a 45 minute session and showing the ‘It’s Not Okay’ video to students. Leading up to the training, students and families will be notified with more details about the training.
We know that parents, caregivers, and families are the most important guides for their child. We encourage you to have conversations about these topics with your student. Resources and helplines are included in the infographic above. If your student discloses that they have experienced sexual abuse or another form of child abuse, we encourage you to make an immediate report to the Division of Family Services Report Line at 800-292- 9582. In addition to making a report, you may also contact your student’s school administrator or school counselor.

SAFEDE is a tool that works by empowering students, parents, and staff to access help they need with dignity and privacy. All parties will have access to the SAFEDE mobile app, which has three main features:
1. ASK FOR HELP can be used to anonymously request help from local school contacts, including Messenger which allows anonymous two-way communication with school contacts and help requesters.
2. CRISISTEXTLINE can be access directly from the app to text with non-local trained crisis counselors
3. GET RESOURCES can be used to search community, local, state, and federal resources and helplines
Our designated administrators will have access to SAFEDE’s backend incident management system to manage and track requests. That system may also be used to assign requests to other individuals.
