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.

YES Prep White Oak Elementary will be opening August 2025 right here in your neighborhood and be open to students entering prekindergarten through second grade. (We will add a grade level every year until we are a fully-grown campus serving prekindergarten through fifth grade.) We believe every student and every family deserves an opportunity for a prosperous future which is why YES Prep provides a college-forward education as early as elementary.
From the first time students step onto a YES Prep campus to the moment they walk across the stage at graduation, each student is prepared for the academic demands of college entrance exams and the admissions process, as well as their continued academic journey. Are you ready to say YES?

Child Nutrition - Update to our Menu App
We are thrilled to announce a significant upgrade in our digital menu technology. Starting May 30th, our current menu app, So Happy, will no longer display menus. We are evolving and advancing to meet and exceed the expectations of our students and families. As part of this evolution, we are transitioning to Nutrislice, an innovative web and app platform that is now live. Nutrislice will provide an enhanced user experience, allowing for easy navigation of menus, filtering for dietary and allergen restrictions, changing preferred language settings, and much more. We believe this upgrade will greatly benefit our community, making it simpler and more convenient to access important meal information. Getting Started Steps:
1. Download the app Nutrislice from your smartphone’s app store:
2. Select your language. Click the dropdown menu in the right-hand corner and click “Select a Language.” Choose your preferred language and click “Translate.”
3. Pick your location. Click on the location you want to view menus for. Don’t forget to add locations you visit most often to your favorites list!
4. Get started. Click into a menu to see available menu options for that day, week, or month depending on your administrator’s settings. Click on a menu item to open a food card that may contain nutritional information and/or images.
5. You’re done! Enjoy your Nutrislice experience. For any questions or further assistance, please contact the Child Nutrition Department: ChildNutrition@yesprep.org
