Riley School Program
With support from our donors, we will help ensure hospitalized children keep learning and stay on track academically. The School Program at Riley Children's Health serves and advocates for school-aged patients and their families.
Educational liaisons are committed to serving kids’ educational needs in many ways, including:
- Contacting children’s regular classroom teacher to coordinate assignments while he/she is hospitalized.
- Providing 1:1 or small group tutoring, as medically appropriate.
- Submitting attendance cards to schools at discharge.
- Facilitating homebound services for qualified students who cannot return to the classroom for 20 school days or more.
- Helping to provide schools with any needed documentation for an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan.
- Offering supportive services to families and schools in hopes of ensuring a smooth transition children back home and school including the following programs:
- The Bear in the Chair Program
- REACH/Re-entry
- Case-Conferences
