Home and Hospital Instruction

The ºìÐÓÖ±²¥appHome and Hospital Instruction Program (HHIP) provides interim instructional support to students who have a medically diagnosed physical or psychiatric condition that is acute or catastrophic in nature that confines them to the home or hospital for two weeks or more. 

A student is considered medically confined when there is: 

  • A medical necessity for confinement; 
  • An inability to leave home – any absence from home is infrequent, of relatively short duration, or to receive health care treatment; and 
  • Active medical treatment which interferes with daily school attendance (e.g., in-patient treatment; medical appointments that span school day hours, four to five days a week).  

The primary goal of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥appis the removal of barriers that impede a student’s access to the educational environment. HHIP utilizes multiple modalities to keep students anchored to their classrooms and classroom teachers to the extent possible with the goal of a successful transition back to their respective school.   
 
If HHIP services are needed, please contact the school HHIP Designee or the school principal for more information and guidance on how to begin the HHIP referral process. For information on DCPS' HHIP policy, please see our HHIP Parent Guidebook
