Nutrition & Fitness Policy A new Nutrition and Physical Fitness Policy was adopted in July 2005 as directed by the Washington state legislature (RCW 28A.210.360 and Federal law 42 U.S.C. 1751). The mandate was for each district to adopt a policy that included: goals for nutrition education, nutrition guidelines for all foods available on campus, assurances that guidelines for reimbursable school meals are not less restrictive than regs issued by USDA, and a plan for measuring how effectively the school wellness policy is being implemented. Parents, students, representatives of the school food authority, school board and school administrators were involved in developing the wellness policy. Any one bringing food for a class or conducting food sales of an occasional nature should be familiar the guidelines and policy. Exceptions to the policy must have the prior approval of the school administrator.

National School Lunch Program
All Oak Harbor Schools offer a National School Lunch Program. Students receive a complete and nutritious menu, and they may select individual items and only pay for what they select. Students may use cash to pay but are strongly encouraged to establish an account where their balance is depleted as they eat. Parents are encouraged to pay ahead so their student does not have to carry cash on a daily basis.

Free or Reduced-Price Lunch and Breakfast
As a part of the National School Lunch Program, some students may be eligible for a free or reduced price lunch. The reduced price for lunch at all grade levels is 40-cents. All students who are registered in the school district will be mailed applications for free or reduced-price lunches and directions with income guidelines for establishing eligibility. It is important parents ensure their free and reduced price lunch applications are filled out and returned to the school district as soon as possible.

Nutrition Information
The school district is currently reviewing nutritional needs of students to develop a policy promoting healthy foods and healthy choices. Many students also 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.
