Homebound Teacher Temporary

Overview

At KIPP St. Louis, our Homebound Teacher plays a vital role in ensuring every student continues to learn, grow, and thrive, no matter their circumstances. The Homebound Teacher provides short-term instructional support to students whose behavior, academic progress, mental health, or medical needs require temporary removal from their current school setting, as outlined by the student’s case conference committee, IEP team, or 504 plan.

Homebound services will be delivered at a mutually agreed-upon location and time between the guardian and the teacher, and will occur during standard KIPP St. Louis contract hours. Our goal is to maintain continuity of learning and keep students connected to their school community until they are ready to transition back to their campus.
