To be eligible for such instruction, the student's physician must write a note indicating the nature of the handicapping condition, the length of time that the student will not be able to attend school, and a recommendation for homebound instruction. Arrangements for homebound instruction are made through the principal. Insurance brochures will be available in the main office of all buildings the first two weeks of school. Just have your child pick up one. Interested parents should complete the information on the envelope, enclose the money, and return it to their child's homeroom teacher.
Coverage is effective as soon as the school receives the completed form.
Dental insurance is also available. The school district's pupil services team strives to meet the total needs of the students, helping them to develop physically, socially, emotionally, and educationally. Serving on this team are school psychologists, consulting psychiatrists, supervisors of special education, specially trained teachers, a home and school visitor, social workers, guidance counselors, school nurses, and consulting dental hygienists. The community can be very proud of the facilities and programs of Norristown Area High School. Innovative programs at the Roosevelt Alternative School are designed to meet the needs of students who wish to develop their basic skills while exploring a variety of vocational alternatives.
