Homebound and hospital services

FCPS provides home or hospital services if a student's condition prevents her from attending school. Students who qualify must be absent from regular school for five or more consecutive school days as verified by a licensed physician, psychologist or psychiatrist.

Homebound

The Homebound program provides instruction in the home for students whose medical condition makes their school attendance inadvisable or impossible. These students are expected to return to their school when their physician allows it.

Instruction includes daytime school hours only. Lab classes and foreign languages are not included.

Homebound is for students who cannot attend school for extended periods because of illness, injuries or chronically recurring physical or mental conditions as verified by a licensed professional. Students are expected to be out of school at least five school days. Applications must be approved by the Homebound committee.

Hospitalized

Educational services are provided for students who are in the hospital for extended periods. FCPS teachers provide instruction to students on site at Shriners Hospital, UK Children's Hospital, Samaritan Hospital, Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital and Ridge Behavioral Health.
