Homebound
When a student is unable to attend school due to a medical issue or injury Wichita Public Schools has a service we offer these students referred to as Homebound. This service is intended to be for a limited period of time. Our purpose is to provide continuity of educational services between the classroom and home. We will help the student facilitate their return to a regular school setting as quickly as possible.
When a student is receiving Homebound service all classroom rules and regulations, as well as school district policies, apply. The longest time a student can be on Homebound is nine calendar weeks. If more time is needed, we will evaluate each individual case and it will require additional medical or psychological information.
Contact your student's school to start a Homebound application.
