School Meals

Nourishing our students' potential and supporting their academic journey with quality meals and a touch of love.

In the 2026-2027 school year, Oak Harbor Public Schools is transitioning to a self-operating model for food service.

The change isn't just about food - it's about fueling student health and nutrition with a vision to improve overall operations, customer service, and quality. Updates to the school nutrition program include implementing batched cooking, portioned fresh fruits and vegetables, providing a wider variety of hot vegetable options, and prioritizing meal presentation. 

USDA meal requirements

Knowing about the nutritional content of foods is important for all families, including those with students who have special nutritional needs. The district looks at those needs on a case-by-case basis in an attempt to develop a meal plan that works for every student.

As a participant in the National School Lunch Program, the USDA manages meal requirements for our schools. Visit the USDA's webpage, Healthier School Day, for a list of tips, resources, and kid-friendly recipes to help make good nutrition as easy as 1-2-3.
