Home Hospital Services

Home Hospital services are in-person tutoring sessions for students who cannot attend school for a period of 4-18 weeks due to sickness or injury. The purpose of these services is to keep students current in their regular academic classes. Services are provided at a student’s home or hospital room at the expense of SVSD.

Any public school students are eligible for home hospital services as long as a request is submitted with the following information:

• Student’s Name

• Student’s Diagnosis

• Signature of Qualified Medical Practitioner with date and anticipated number of weeks of absence

• Requested start date of services

• Whether or not the 504 or IEP team needs to meet (if applicable)

Qualified medical practitioners are identified as:

• Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) 

• Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) 

• Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.) 

• Doctor of Dentistry (D.M.D.) 

• Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) 

• Physician Assistant (P.A.) 

• Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (A.R.N.P.)

• Certified Nurse Midwife (C.N.M.)
