When a child’s condition may cause him/her to be absent for a minimum of ten days and nothing in his/her condition precludes instruction, home instruction can be made available.  Delays in following procedure can result in delayed delivery of homebound instruction.

Instruction will be provided at an assigned site by the office of the Assistant Superintendent in all academic areas.

Upon the notification that you are in need of homebound instruction, contact the Superintendent’s Office, Bank Street, Seymour, CT – Telephone Number 203-888-4564.  The Assistant Superintendent will instruct you as to when you may pick up the “Physically Handicapped Report” form which must be completed by your physician.

When this report is completed by the physician, return it to the Assistant Superintendent who will, in turn, process it so that the homebound instruction can begin as soon as possible.

The parent will be contacted by the tutor contracted to provide this service.  Arrangements as to the day, time, etc., are made between the parent and the tutor.

Grades attained on homebound are to be averaged in with regular classroom performance up to that point.  In any area in which the student does not receive homebound instruction, work missed is to be made up to the satisfaction of the individual teacher within a reasonable amount of time upon the student’s return to class.
