Health and Medication Forms


Each year, families are required to complete and submit certain health/medication forms to ensure that your student is supported by our Nurse and Front Office Staff. If your child requires any daily medication, has asthma or any other medical condition that may require medication or our assistance, please bring these forms to your doctor and return them to us before the first day of school. We will schedule a separate time for medication to be submitted to our Nurse.
Here are the forms: Please submit completed forms to leonardo.ruiz@scienceandtech.org or bring them to the Front Office during Summer Hours. 

Uniform Donation Give-Away:
Saturday, July 31
10:00a-1:00p
DSST: Montview MS (outdoors)


Over the years, families have been generous enough to donate worn uniforms for the school to use for students out of dress code or other reasons. We have accumulated more than we will need and would like to offer families a chance to take from our inventory before we donate them. 

All of the uniforms have been washed.

Please call the Front Office at 303-524-6380, if you have any questions.
