Home and Hospital Teaching Program

The Home and Hospital Teaching Program is designed to provide instructional continuity to students who are unable to attend their regular school of enrollment due to a:

• physical crisis,
• emotional crisis,
• pregnancy,
• or chronic health impairment (CHIPs) that requires a student to be absent from school on an intermittent basis (emotional or physical).

Home and Hospital Interim Instructional Services are intended to support students for a short period of time, ranging from 20 school days to 60 calendar days, while they are unable to attend their regular educational programs due to a verified medical diagnosis. These services are provided virtually while the student is healing. Only in extenuating circumstances will in-person sessions be arranged. Home and Hospital teaching is not intended to replace regular school attendance or serve as a Special Education Placement, but rather, to keep the student academically current with their peers until their return to full-time instruction. These interim instructional sessions do not replicate the classroom experience and are not intended to help students make up past work prior to the Home and Hospital approval period.

School Based Teams and Special Education Teams along with consultation from the Home and Hospital Teaching Program will meet to assist in problem solving best practice for students.
