LUNCH MONEY NOW Lunch Money Now permits parents to access their student’s cafeteria account via the Internet. It provides the ability to view the student’s account balance, view/print the student’s recent purchase history and make deposits to the child’s meal account using a debit/credit card or paypal. Viewing the student account is free. A convenience fee of $2.50 per transaction is charged to add money to the student account. (You may add to multiple student accounts in one transaction.)

MEAL APP NOW Meal App Now allows parents to apply for Free/Reduced school meals on-line.

Wellness Policy

White Oak ISD has developed a Wellness Policy that focuses on improving the health of our students. The policy was developed by the School Health Advisory Council that is comprised of teachers, administrators, parents, community members, and a district nurse.

The deadline to apply for P-EBT food benefits has been extended to August 21. Did your child receive free or reduced-price school meals through the National School Lunch Program during the 2019-2020 school year? If so, your family may be eligible for this one-time food benefit. Visit hhs.texas.gov/pebt to learn more about P-EBT. For questions regarding eligibility or if you need help applying, contact the P-EBT Call Center at 833-613-6220. The public charge rule does not apply to P-EBT benefits. If a family thinks their child was incorrectly denied P-EBT benefits, they need to contact HHS within 15 days of receiving their denial notice by calling the PEBT Call Center or by email at AES_PEBT_Complaints@hhsc.state.tx.us. They must provide proof they received free to reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program, to get P-EBT benefits. Proof includes the award letter that is sent to parents when their children become eligible for the National School Lunch Program. If children attend a CEP or P2 school, a school ID or report card can be used.

White Oak ISD allows students to charge 3 meals (about $7.50) in their lunch account. (Extras are not allowed to be charged at any time, just a complete meal.) An alternate meal will be offered once this charge limit has been met. This allows the parent sufficient time to get money into the students lunch account. Automated low balance and negative balance phone calls go out on Monday and Thursday evenings.
