Home/Hospital Tutoring

The Illinois School Code provides for a continuation of learning when a student has had their classroom activities disrupted by physical/medical problems.  

The purpose of Home/Hospital Services is to facilitate learning while students are unable to attend school for a physical or mental health condition.  Home/Hospital Services may be provided to any student when it is anticipated that, due to a medical condition (in the opinion of a licensed physician), the child will be unable to attend school for a period of 10 or more days or on an ongoing intermittent basis. 

Home/Hospital services require:

  • Physician’s note

  • Specific diagnosis

  • Recommendation of services

  • Length of time out of school

  • Parental consent

During student absence from school, a certified teacher (service provider) will serve as a liaison between the school and home/hospital. The classroom teacher continues to be responsible for class content and will assist in providing needed information/materials.

Please contact the Building Principal or Director of Special Education for further information and/or for the application for Home/Hospital Tutoring.
