Home and Hospital
Instruction
Background
The Home and Hospital Instruction Program provides on-going academic
instruction to students who are unable to attend the regular school day for
a period of three weeks or longer due to illness, surgery, or chronic medical disorders.
Home/Hospital serves all students enrolled within the Poway Unified School District.
The process takes approximately two weeks to initiate depending
upon the amount of time it takes to complete the necessary
paperwork. Home and/or Hospital Instruction is, by
definition, a temporary program and is not provided for extended
periods of time or in lieu of school attendance. The
program does not operate over the summer. The
program cannot support students who are taking certain
electives, such as foreign languages, lab sciences, physical
education, auto shop, jewelry making, or any other subject
requiring hands-on instruction.
Alternative Programs
oversees the program by receiving requests, monitoring the
appropriateness of the requests and working with Finance to
provide attendance information.
Instruction
Home and/or Hospital Instruction is initiated at the student's school site. A
credentialed teacher is assigned as the tutor to the student and work is provided by the regular
classroom teachers. The Home/Hospital tutor arranges an appointment at the
home and class work is reviewed and discussed. The state
limits the hours of tutoring to a maximum of three hours pre
day, and five hours per week. The state also will not
allow a student to attend classes at a school site while
enrolled in the Home/Hospital program. No tutoring is allowed on
days that school is not in session, and the five hours per week
is reduced by that number. The program does not
operate over the summer. Please
note that most tutor appointments are after school because our
tutors must be either a PUSD teacher or substitute.
