Homebound Instruction

Homebound Instruction

Homebound services provide educational continuity for students unable to attend school due to medical reasons, whether physical or psychiatric. This service is temporary and based on medical certification from a licensed physician or clinical psychologist. Services are coordinated between healthcare providers, parents, and school personnel. Approval is contingent upon a completed medical certification, which must include the expected duration of the student's recovery.

The medical certification below must be fully completed, including parental permission to contact the treating physician or licensed clinical psychologist, in order for the student to be considered for homebound services. If it is necessary for homebound instruction to be extended beyond 9 weeks, the medical certification of need will need to be completed again by the physician and parent.
