Free Breakfast & Lunch for ALL Students

White Oak, as a reminder, both breakfast and lunch are free to all students!
This year, your student does not have to apply for free or reduced meals. All meals that are offered by our cafeteria staff, are free to all students.

If students do not remember their ID numbers, or forgot their ID's at home, they can still line up and get their food. Our cafeteria staff has been working hard to make sure students are able to eat;they will assist your child with their ID numbers and ensure they receive their meals.
