We will achieve this mission with the support of parents, staff, and the community. Iredell-Statesville School District believes that every student can learn and deserves rich classroom instruction. Iredell-Statesville School District realizes that some circumstances arise where homebound instruction is necessary in place of attending regular school. With that being said, many studies have been performed on school attendance and student achievement, and the results are not surprising “…student test performance is better when class attendance is better and that students with better attendance demonstrate more knowledge of the course material.”  - (Ledman and Kamuche, 2002) It needs to be recognized that the student will get the best education while being at school and not at home. The homebound program is one way Iredell Statesville Schools is attempting to meet the educational needs of all its students. If a student is expected to miss school no more than (2) two weeks (high school) or (4) four weeks (elementary or middle school), the school site should manage assignments, this would not be considered homebound. The expectation is for students, that would be eligible, to receive homebound on an \"as needed basis\".  If a student is expected to miss more than the allotted time, she/he would be eligible for homebound services by completing the appropriate referral form. If the student is a student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) please contact the Coordinator of Disability Services at ADR.  If homebound services will last more than 12 weeks, a new homebound referral form will need to be completed upon re-evaluation by the supervising physician.  The school team will review the continued need for homebound every 30 days. If the student has an IEP, the IEP Team will review the need for continued homebound services through the IEP process.  Information that is needed to enroll your student in the homebound program is found in the following packet. Please make sure that all forms are complete or delays in processing may occur.\nTABLE OF CONTENTS\nWhat are/is Homebound Services/Instruction?\t1\nWho can receive Homebound Services/Instruction?\t2\nConsiderations\t2\nStudents Hospitalized Out of County\t3\nPsychiatric Hospital\t3\nAs Needed\t3\nExit from Homebound\t3\nRecord Keeping for Homebound Students\t3\nPaperwork Submitted\t4\nPaperwork Needed for Homebound Process\t4\nHomebound Services/Instruction Information Form                                 HB Form (1)\nParent Authorization for Homebound Services/Instruction                      HB Form (2)\nPhysician’s Referral for Homebound Services/Instruction                       HB Form (3)\nPhysician’s Referral for OB/GYN Diagnosis                                             HB Form (4)\nPsychiatrist’s Referral for Homebound Services/Instruction                     HB Form (5)\nHomebound Teacher Contract                                                                  HB Form (6)\nSurvival Guide for Teacher\t 5\nClass Assignments from Class Instructor                                                 HB Form (7)\nClass Assignments from Homebound Teacher                                        HB Form (8)\nSummary of Progress                                                                               HB Form (9)\nTeachers of Homebound Students                                                           HB Form (10)\nHome Visit Record/Attendance Log                                                          HB Form (11)\nHomebound Review Form                                                                         HB Form (12)\nCoordinating EOCs and EOGs\t6\nCourse Instructor – Regular Education Teacher\t6\nEC Case Manager\t6\nHomebound Teacher                                                                                     ","cbCail1OY7Qe5JNP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail1OY7Qe5JNP","docx",47200,25,"English","# What are/is Homebound Services/Instruction?\n## Who can receive Homebound Services/Instruction?\n## Considerations\n## Students Hospitalized Out of County\n## Psychiatric Hospital\n## As Needed\n## Exit from Homebound\n## Record Keeping for Homebound Students\n## Paperwork Submitted\n## Paperwork Needed for Homebound Process\n## Homebound Services/Instruction Information Form - HB Form (1)\n## Parent Authorization for Homebound Services/Instruction - HB Form (2)\n## Physician’s Referral for Homebound Services/Instruction - HB Form (3)\n## Physician’s Referral for OB/GYN Diagnosis - HB Form (4)\n## Psychiatrist’s Referral for Homebound Services/Instruction - HB Form (5)\n## Homebound Teacher Contract - HB Form (6)\n## Survival Guide for Teacher\n## Class Assignments from Class Instructor - HB Form (7)\n## Class Assignments from Homebound Teacher - HB Form (8)\n## Summary of Progress - HB Form (9)\n## Teachers of Homebound Students - HB Form (10)\n## Home Visit Record/Attendance Log - HB Form (11)\n## Homebound Review Form - HB Form (12)\n## Coordinating EOCs and EOGs\n## Homebound Teacher Responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of homebound services/instruction?\",\"answer\":\"Homebound services maintain continuity in students’ education when extended illness or conditions prevent attendance.
