Homeschool benefits and savings in Yukon

A free Yukon Parks and Recreation facility membership opens the Jackie Cooper Gymnasium, the Yukon Community Center, and the Dale Robertson Center to your family. Anyone who lives in ZIP code 73099 qualifies, so a homeschool family gets cards for everyone over age six by bringing an ID or Yukon water bill with a 73099 address to any of the three centers.

Who qualifies

1. Lives in ZIP code 73099

   Membership is free to anyone whose address is in Yukon's 73099 ZIP code. A homeschool family qualifies on address alone, with no school enrollment.

2. Or attends Yukon Public Schools

   Children enrolled in Yukon Public Schools also qualify, which helps only families outside 73099 whose children are enrolled there.

What the membership gives you

The details come from the City of Yukon's recreation facility and center pages.

• Households outside 73099 without a Yukon Public Schools student

Membership gives entry to the three centers; renting the community center's multipurpose room costs $25 per half hour, with a one-hour minimum.

Good to know

• Membership is based on ZIP code, not school

  The free Yukon membership is based on living in ZIP code 73099, not on school enrollment, so your homeschooled children get cards along with the rest of your household.

• Both centers open at 7 a.m. on weekdays

  The Jackie Cooper Gymnasium has two full-size courts for basketball and volleyball, and the Yukon Community Center has a basketball court, game room, weight room, pool table, and ping pong table. Both open at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday.

• Cards start above age six

  Children under six are not issued a card; cards go to household members above age six. Call the center you plan to visit about bringing younger children.

Who to contact about the membership

The Parks and Recreation main office and each center answer membership questions.

Homeschool rules and statewide help in Oklahoma

Oklahoma law does not require a homeschool filing. The state education department recommends notifying the school when withdrawing a student; that recommendation is not a statutory approval process.

Oklahoma sets these rules:

• Subjects: Instruction should cover reading, writing, mathematics, science, citizenship, the U.S. Constitution, health, safety, physical education, and conservation.
• Testing: Oklahoma does not require a statewide standardized test for homeschoolers.
• Records: No routine state submission is required; attendance and work records are prudent evidence that instruction is being provided.
• Teachers: No state homeschool-parent credential is required.
