Health & Nursing

We are unable to accept any medication at school, including over-the-counter products, without the required documentation below.

Please review the attachments for these requirements and complete any required documentation with both the parent’s/legal guardian’s signature and the physician’s signature prior to bringing any medication to school.

  • Seizures

    The Seizure Emergency Care Plan and Medication Orders for School and Childcare Settings is the preferred document for students who have seizures and may need emergency medications at school. If the student requires other medications, please use the general medication form.

  • Immunization Requirements

Colorado law requires all students attending Colorado schools and licensed child cares to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless a medical or non-medical exemption is filed.  For more information about vaccine requirements, resources and exemptions, please visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s School Immunization page.

  • How to Get Vaccinations

    • Find locations that offer vaccines to prevent flu and other diseases on this page provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. Check to see if a location offers low or no-cost services.
    • Denver Health’s School-based Health Centers (SBHC)  serve any DPS student at no charge to families. To schedule a vaccination appointment, call the Appointment Center at 303-436-4949.

Athletics

Athletics are an essential part of the DSST educational experience and are a central component to the school’s mission. The DSST athletic program emphasizes solid core values, sportsmanship and commitment to excellence. Membership on a team comes with the obligation to attend and work hard at practices and to put forth a high degree of effort in game situations. The level of commitment required rightly increases as the level of competition increases.

**More information and resources will be available about our athletic offerings as the year progresses!
