Home and Hospital Instruction

A Millis Public School student, who, due to documented medical reasons, is confined to home or a hospital for fourteen (14) school days or more during the school year, is entitled to receive home/hospital educational services as described under 603 CMR 28.03(3)(c). In this context "Millis Public School student" means a student who is enrolled in Millis school district or a charter school, or a student who is being educated with public funds in an educational collaborative or an approved private day or residential special education school. bandaid Once the student's personal physician determines that a student's medical condition will require either hospitalization or home care for not less than 14 school days, the physician must notify the school district responsible for the student in order to begin the home/hospital instruction process. The student's physician must complete a Department of Elementary and Secondary Education form 28R/3 (or equivalent signed statement) and submit it to the student's building principal or other appropriate program administrator. At a minimum the physician's signed notice must include information regarding:

  • The date the student was admitted to a hospital or was confined to home;

  • The medical reason(s) for the confinement;

  • The expected duration of the confinement; and

  • Medical needs of the student that should be considered in planning the home or hospital education services

Please contact your child’s Principal or the Office of Student Support Services if your child may need these services.
