Unfortunately, there are a number of conditions that may suppress the immune system, causing students to catch colds, viruses, and other communicable illnesses more often. We cannot offer services to students who have a contagious illness. This applies both to new students applying to the program and students who are already being served. Exposing our Hospital/Homebound teachers to such illnesses puts both our staff and the other students they serve at risk. If your student has a communicable illness, please inform their Hospital/Homebound teacher as soon as possible.
