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.
