Welcome Back to Oak Harbor Public Schools!

It was a week of re-connection as our schools opened their doors for open houses and the first day of school for grades 1-12! Seeing the halls filled with smiles and excitement set a wonderful tone for the year ahead!

We look forward to welcoming back our Preschoolers, TTK, Kindergarten and HomeConnection students next week! Share your first day of school photos with us by tagging us on social media! We are on Facebook and Instagram.

Oak Harbor Public Schools uses ParentSquare for communication between home and school. Through ParentSquare you'll receive important district and school messages, view upcoming events, and be able to communicate directly with teachers in your preferred language.

Bookmark the district website and your school websites for additional resources for families about school meals, transportation, safety, forms, academic support, and more. Newsletters and important dates are also published on your school's home page for easy access.

Oak Harbor Public Schools supports our local school organizations and community partners with the opportunity to share information with families about activities that have educational, civic, recreational, or cultural value for students. The District works with a service provider, called Peachjar, to post digital flyers online and distribute them on Tuesday afternoons via email.

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 page also has information regarding inhalers and Epi-Pens at school.

Forms may also be picked up at your school’s front office.

If your child needs immunizations but local appointments are booked, Skagit County Public Health at 301 Valley Mall Way Ste 110 in Mount Vernon is offering immunizations by appointment, 10-4 Tuesday-Thursday. Call 360-416-1542.

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.

Oak Harbor Public Schools uses the BusRight app that allows you to keep track of your student's school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone.

For any questions, please contact our transportation team at 360.279.5570.

Monthly school menus are available through your school's website on the home page.

Don’t forget to apply for free & reduced-price meals for the new school year! Even if you’re not sure you’ll qualify, it’s important to apply every year to keep your benefits. Apply in Skyward Family Access early to avoid any gaps, as eligibility established last year only lasts through mid-October. Be sure to set up an e-Funds account to make payments and monitor account balances. 

Our schools are a community and you are a vital part of it! Make a difference at our schools by volunteering, joining the PTA, or serving on a committee to help us create a stronger, more supportive learning environment for our students. Whether working in the classroom or helping out with events, your participation is valued and needed.

If you believe volunteering is right for you, we invite you to complete a Volunteer Application.

New applications take about 10-14 days to process. We conduct a required background check for every applicant, and once approved, you will receive a volunteer name badge and welcome letter. Apply online and check out upcoming volunteer opportunities, updated monthly.
