Office of Specialized Services: Homebound Instruction Homebound instruction is a service the district may provide during a temporary period of excused absence not to exceed three months. Excusal from school attendance during this period may be granted, "...upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of mental, physical or other urgent reasons, but the term ‘urgent reasons' shall be strictly construed and does not permit irregular attendance." (22 PA. CODE CH. 11 Sec. 25). Homebound instruction should be used as a last resort after all other options and /or alternative schedules (i.e. half days, work packets, etc.) have been exhausted.

Newsletters from ScholarChip Attendance ChallengeThe monthly attendance challenge compares an entire school's average daily attendance (ADA) each month. For example, for the February 2012 challenge we will compare the ADA for January 2012 to the ADA for February 2012. The high, middle, and elementary schools with the highest percent increase in ADA will win the prizes listed on the monthly incentive flyer. Prizes are intended to supplement lunchroom and recess materials and for schools to use internally as incentives for students with most improved attendance.
