Athletics for Home School Students
Home school students may participate in interscholastic activities at their local school if they are compliant with home school law and meet the requirements of the OSAA (Oregon School Athletics Association). OSAA requires home school students to be registered at the beginning of the school year and tested yearly with an approved exam by August 15th prior to the school year; the student must meet the 23rd percentile or more on those exams (OAR 581-021-0033).
Assessment scores must be submitted annually to the school district by the student’s parent or legal guardian prior to participation in an interscholastic activity. Students may participate in interscholastic activities while awaiting test results. Please contact your resident school district if you have questions regarding interscholastic activities, visit the OSAA website at www.osaa.org or call 1-888-838-6722.
Parents are encouraged to speak directly to the local school if their child is interested in participating in activities.
