Introducing the DSST Daily Health Screener Tool!

We are excited to put additional measures in place to promote the health and safety of our staff and students participating in in-person opportunities! To keep our community safe, DSST will be requiring any team member or student participating in in-person opportunities to take a health screener from home prior to traveling to a DSST school. This screener asks our team members and families to take their temperature as well as identify if they are experiencing or could have been exposed to someone experiencing any other COVID-19 symptoms. This tool will save students and families time while mitigating the risk of a community spread by quickly supporting our community with wellness checks at home.

Here are some useful tools to get yourself up an running with the Daily Health Screener Tool:

• Log in via SSO here
• User Guide
• Quick Video Tutorial
• Translated DSST Health Screener Questions
  • We recommend printing and posting this near the building entrance
