Home/Hospital Instruction - return to top
- Home / Hospital Instruction - is a state (OSPI) program that provides funding for schools to provide limited scholastic support to students with a health issue. To qualify, students must be expected to miss at least four (4) weeks of school, but no more than eighteen (18) weeks. In case of chronic illness, the services can be intermittent (Please indicate this on the application form). The form must be signed by the parent/guardian and the health care provider.
- Pregnancy and Postpartum - the "usual and customary" weeks of postpartum service are six (6) for a routine vaginal delivery and eight (8) for a c-section. Please do not exceed those numbers without indicating a reason the student is unable to attend classes because of her own medical needs.
- Please note that Health Services merely verifies the student’s eligibility for services and serves as a pass through for funding from OSPI. The school is responsible for finding a tutor and setting up the educational plan.
- There are strict requirements for reimbursement from OSPI for this funding so if/when the request is approved, please read the instructions carefully as we cannot fund services until H/H is approved. Buildings will be responsible for any expenses incurred beyond the limits of the program.
- Special Education Students - IMPORTANT: If a student cannot attend school because of a need related to his/her qualifying special education condition, do not submit a Home/Hospital application until after contacting the school's Section 504 coordinator and the IEP responsible staff for that student. Special Education manages funding for IDEA students who require Home Hospital support.

Level B Schools for 2017-18 School Year
Life-Threatening Health Conditions (Health Packet)
Washington State law requires that when there is a student with a known life-threatening condition schools must be prepared for a life-threatening event on the day the student starts school. This would include the necessary forms from the health care provider as well as any needed medications. These documents need to provide current information so should be prepared after July 1 for the following school year!
Please be sure you have completed the following forms and bring medication(s) to school if your student has a know life-threatening condition:
Medication at School - revised June 2015
State or federal law requires that a form must be completed and signed by both parent/guardian and a licensed health care provider with prescriptive authority for ALL medications to be given at school, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications. See Health-Related School Information for more detail. This form needs to be renewed at the beginning of each school year.
Release of Health Care Records Request and Authorization - revised 11/30/09 (also known as Mutual Exchange)
Gives Seattle Public Schools and a health care provider, hospital, or clinic permission to exchange information about a student.
Student Health Information

In October 2018, we hope to roll out a digital health platform that will allow parents to view/update their students health information.
Until then, please contact your school nurse directly.
