One of the biggest changes this year is most of the SCHOOL SUPPLIES will be provided for you!
The Oak Harbor School district received funds through local levies that contributed to the school being able to provide most, if not all school supplies for students this year. Each school has provided comments for what your child will still need. We have put them all in one place for you to include links to each individual school if you need further information.
Crescent Harbor Elementary School – parents will only need to provide backpacks and headphones!
Hillcrest Elementary – a backpack and headphones (no earbuds, please)!
Broadview Elementary – a backpack and headphones (no earbuds, please)!
Oak Harbor Intermediate School – Suggestions for supplies that are not provided are a regular backpack, 2″ 3-ring binder (for organization), headphones, and a water bottle.
North Whidbey Middle School – Don’t forget a backpack and clothes for PE!
Oak Harbor High School – Recommended Supplies for each class will be provided the first day of school

CHANGES TO THE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, federal programs provided funding for schools to provide free school meals for all students. Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, the funding that allowed for the free meals for all will expire. All families are encouraged to complete a 2022-23 Household Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals if your household income is within the guidelines. Learn more about how to apply!
TRANSPORTATION:
Transportation services will begin on Tuesday, September 6, the first day of school. All families needing transportation to or from school are required to fill out a transportation request form. Fill out a transportation form online!
