Regular transportation is provided for students residing outside the one-mile walking area of their home school attendance area. Please fill out the Transportation Request Form to request student transportation or to request a change to your current arrangement throughout the year. Students requesting transportation need to re-register every year.
Beginning this school year, Oak Harbor Public Schools will be using a new app called BusRight that will allow you to keep track of your student's school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone. Read the full announcement at https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/35304181
It is usual to have delays during the first few days as students find their buses and drivers time their new routes. Our drivers’ number one goal is to ensure your student is safe to and from school. Please be mindful of students in and around school loading zones.
If you have any questions about your student's route or bus, please contact our transportation department at 360-279-5570.

Our free and reduced lunch program is designed to support families in need and ensure that no child goes hungry. Please remember that the application for free and reduced lunch must be submitted by families every year.
We encourage all eligible families to apply for this program. Participation is confidential and helps us create a supportive environment where all students can focus on learning and growing without worrying about their next meal.
To make payments and monitor account balances online, please be sure to set up an e-Funds account. Lunch payments may also be made via our black lunch payment box in front of the attendance office window and must be labeled with your child’s name and lunch number.
An OHI Reminder: Several of our children suffer from severe and/or life-threatening food allergies. Food treats for celebrations will not be accepted/distributed. We want all children to receive special recognition and have the opportunity to celebrate special occasions. Please consider an alternative “treat” such as special pencils, erasers, etc.
In addition, candy and soda are not to be brought to school to prevent any mess and sharing. Thank you in advance for your understanding and thoughtfulness toward all our students.
Finally, monthly school menus are available online through our website under the “Resources” tab under “School Menus.” You can also check the school menu through this link or through the files below.

All health plans and healthcare provider orders are good for one school year only. If your child needs a health plan or needs to take medication during the school day (this includes any prescription, over-the-counter medications, or inhalers used at school, or after-school activities), please download the Parent Information and School Medication Form from the district website. The district's Health & Wellness Resources pages also have additional information about individualized plans. Forms may also be picked up at your school’s front office.
For students who take medications at school
If it is necessary for a student to take medicine at school, the procedure is as follows:
- A school medication form must be signed by both the healthcare provider and the parent. These forms are good for one school year only and must be renewed each school year. Parent Information and School Medication Form
- The medicine must be in a container from the pharmacy that includes the name of the student, medication, dosage, and directions for use. Medication at school must be kept in the main office with the school secretarial staff. EpiPens and inhalers can be kept with the student if both the parent and health care provider give consent, provide an emergency action plan and provide the medication form and medication for the student. For self-carry and self-administration, the parent must sign the liability waiver on the medication administration form.
- The student must go to the school secretary/ receptionist to receive the medication. No other medication is to be carried by students without special clearance through the nursing staff.

Our school nursing team can be reached at (360) 279-5340. Please communicate medical conditions and/or medications with nursing staff as soon as possible before school starts and during the year if there are any changes.
