If you believe your EPISD student qualifies for Homebound Services:

1. Contact your school nurse to obtain a referral form. The student’s doctor must complete this form.
2. Return the completed form to the campus nurse.
3. The Homebound Nurse Educator and Program Manager will review the recommendation to ensure all required information is provided, then set up a 504/ARD meeting with campus officials, and the student’s parents/ guardians.
4. This meeting will determine:

• Whether the student is eligible for homebound services, and whether the student should attend half day (2hrs/week) or full day (4hrs/week).
• Accommodations that could be provided on campus to keep the student in traditional schooling.

5. If the student is eligible, the Homebound department will send forms to the parents/guardians to be signed and set up a new schedule for the student and begin providing individualized services as soon as possible.
