[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 198512, member: 1436"] Susie--Our school district and I believe every district in the US has a program that works with students with medical issues that cause chronic absences. In my district it is called homebound. With the right paperwork---provided by the district and filled out by the doctor---a student can receive instruction from a certified teacher whenever they are absence and the absence doesn't count for the district or the student. Even if the teacher doesn't show and you work with the teacher to make up all missing assignments it will help Jess stay up on what she is missing. This is important because many states have a mandatory cutoff date. In our district it is five absences per semester unless dr. excused. With a chronic illlness, you just can't get to the dr. each time it flairs. Since schools are held accountable for the absences---they have to be diligent---if not it costs funding and lowers their AYP---which costs more funding. Check with your district for the proper paperwork and get it filled out. [/QUOTE]
