the student’s teacher, the parents, the student and other staff with knowledge of the student.

The SST team may assist in issues related to classwork, homework, attendance, school

adjustment or other matters.

Home Hospital Instruction

Students may at times require hospitalization for health reasons. Should hospitalization occur

and be required for a period of time, please notify your child’s school. The school district where

the hospital is located will provide instruction while your child is in the hospital.

At other times, students may have health related reasons that require they do not attend

school for a period of time. With a doctor’s order describing the condition, the length of time

the student needs to be on bed rest and any other significant information of your child’s non-

contagious medical disorder, a Home Instructor may be assigned to provide up to one hour

of daily instruction in the home. Contact your school principal if your child’s health condition

requires that he not be in attendance at school.

Disabilities Act. Contact the school principal for additional information.
