If your child has been diagnosed by his/her doctor with a medical condition preventing them from attending school (5 or more days), you may qualify for homebound services.

What Are Homebound Services?

The Lansing School District offers homebound services to those students who are receiving medical treatment that prevents regular school attendance. Through the use of assignments, textbooks, and/or online resources provided by a school’s classroom, certified homebound teachers provide instructional assistance in the student’s home.

Eligibility Requirements:

In order to be eligible for homebound services, your child must:

• Have a medical diagnosis that prevents full-time attendance
• Have a physician referral form from a qualifying medical professional (M.D., D.O., or a Certified Physician’s Assistant)
• Have medical absences exceeding five (5) consecutive days
• Be enrolled in the Lansing School District

The Power Of Collaboration

Our homebound teachers collaborate with your child’s classroom teacher in order to deliver the needed materials and assignments to your student. Your child’s classroom teacher will remain the teacher of record for your child.

Homebound Teachers Will:

• Schedule services with the parent
• Provide instructional support by delivering assignments, textbooks, and teacher resources to the homebound student
• Return completed work to the school
• Serve as a liaison between your family and your child’s school

How Do I Enroll My Child?

• Request and submit the student referral form to your school. A school counselor or administrator will then complete the school referral form and submit both to the Office of Special Populations..
• The school counselor will then obtain the physician referral form and submit all three forms to the Pupil Accounting and Central Enrollment Office (PACE)  for final approval. You will be notified within a week of submission if/when homebound services will be provided.
