FOOD SERVICES

Our school cafeterias meet federal nutrition standards for school meals, ensuring that meals are healthy and well-balanced and provide students all the nutrition they need to succeed at school. Now is a great time to encourage your kids to choose school lunch!
We are always working to offer Whitko students healthier and tastier choices. School meals are a great value and a huge convenience for busy families too!
We look forward to welcoming your children to the cafeteria.
FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCHES IN 2021-22
Thanks to the USDA’s response to Covid-19, Whitko Community Schools will once again be offering free breakfast and free lunch to every enrolled Whitko student in the 2021-2022 school year. This is regardless of students free, reduced or full pay status. However, textbook rentals will still be required by all students.
IMPORTANT MENU UPDATE
Last minute menu changes are occurring frequently and are out of our control due to the nationwide food supply chain issues. Our printed and online menus may not reflect these changes. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any questions regarding your school’s menu, please contact the cafeteria manager.
