Home Instruction

Career-Technical students who will be absent from school for an extended period of time due to medical reasons may be eligible for home instruction. When it becomes evident that a student will be absent from school for reasons considered excusable for a period in excess of ten (10) days, the SCCTC Student Services department shall contact the student's associate school to request a home tutor. The student shall be responsible for reporting the anticipated absence to the SCCTC Assistant Director - attendance (Mr. John Walker) and discipline (Mr. Tom Walker) and the student must complete the necessary written request for home instruction according to the associate school district's policy. The responsibility for providing a tutor rests with the student's associate school.

SCCTC instructors will be notified and may be responsible for providing assignments to the student during the time for which home instruction has been approved. The assignments are to be turned in to the Student Services office who will forward them to the tutor.

Those students that are on home instruction are not permitted to attend any extra curriculum activities associated with the SCCTC. Special circumstances may be approved by the Director.

If the student on home instruction is a GRADS student, the GRADS Coordinator shall coordinate the transfer of assignments and materials between the career-technical instructors and the tutor. The GRADS Coordinator shall make at least weekly contact with the student, tutor and career-technical instructors to effectively facilitate completion of all necessary assignments, lessons, tests or other educational projects.

Special arrangements can be made for modifications of lab and academic classes during the time a student is on home instruction.

Grading of assignments and issuance of grades to a student on home instruction may be done by either instructor or tutor, based on prior arrangement. If agreement is not reached regarding these issues between teacher and tutor; Secondary Director, program supervisor, and the Assistant Director-attendance and discipline, in consultation with the associate school principal, shall make the final determination.
