Home and Hospital

The Home and Hospital program is designed to provide instruction to convalescing students in grades one through twelve to alleviate concern over academic work/credit, to maintain the skills necessary for returning to the classroom, and to assure ongoing home/school contact during the term of the illness, injury, or extenuating circumstances. The Home and Hospital Program will be administered according to the following guidelines:

Guidelines

      1. The student lives within the boundaries of Jordan School District and is enrolled at Herriman High school.
      2. The student is confined at home or in a hospital due to physical or emotional illness, injury, handicap, complications of pregnancy, or extenuating circumstances.
      3. The student has missed or expects to miss ten (10) or more consecutive days of school.
      4. The student has a pattern of missing three (3) or more days of school each week due to ongoing illness or physical condition.
      5. The student's condition will allow 50 percent or less attendance during the school.
      6. Home and Hospital Instruction is recommended by the student's physician, medical professional, social worker, psychotherapist, or legally directed services, and is requested by the parents/guardian.

The goal of Home and Hospital is to help the student maintain their educational progress during the term of the illness or injury.
