Homebound Instruction - Home/Hospital (H/H) is a program that provides temporary, part-time interim services to students deemed too ill to attend school. Its purpose is to assist the student in maintaining continuity in the educational curriculum during the period of temporary extended illness or injury. H/H is not intended as and shall not be used in lieu of or to replace or to supplant the student's normal educational day, curriculum, homework or placement.
The District may provide instruction, as appropriate, for students confined to home or who are hospitalized upon the request of parents and with the approval of the licensed medical provider.

- In each instance, the licensed medical provider will be asked and must certify that the student will be unable to attend school for the length of time specified and that he or she is capable of receiving home instruction. The licensed medical provider also shall be asked to give an estimate of the probable length of the student's convalescence. The District will regularly and periodically ask the licensed medical provider to update the student's health status and recovery period.
- A parent should request the H/H instruction as soon as it is determined that the student's condition will require it so that instruction may begin as soon as the student is able to receive it.
