  • For students away from school for extended periods, due to ilness, injury or other qualified reasons.

Categories of service:

  1. Illness/injury – After a student has been absent for five (5) consecutive school days, and the prognosis is for a further home stay of at least five (5) more days.  These are the priority students.
  2. Re-entry – students who have been on the Outreach caseload (i. above) may require assistance while getting back into their regular school programs.  Re-entry service is a natural outgrowth from (i) above thus no further referral is necessary.
  3. Student Suspensions:  Students suspended in excess of five (5) school days are entitled to Outreach services.  This is arranged through the District Discipline Committee process, with the request for service coming from the Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
  4. Assigned students:  Some students present the district with extra-ordinary educational needs. "Extra-ordinary educational needs" may include such students assigned by the Assistant Superintendent to the Outreach Program, in consultation with the school administration.
Provisions for Service include the following:
  • Provisions for tutoring in the home
  • Homebound Learning Support Teacher support and consultation with Home School about and to provide available CEAP learning resources.
  • Access to technology and online learning courses and resources.

To assist in transition, the referring school may need to provide a detailed description of completed curriculum. Paper-based or online curriculum materials will be provided at the Outreach/Homebound Program's discretion. Assessment and progress reporting may require collaboration between the Outreach/Homebound Program and the home school.
