Olympia's food service staff spent time together preparing for the new school year. Our department is ready to take on the challenges unique to food service. Our goal as always is to provide outstanding service and high quality meals that meet or exceed the latest federal and state requirements. New this year will be plant based lunch entrée options that are available to order by staff and students at the OHSMS and by parents for elementary students. Look for the QR code included on lunch menus. We are also excited to share that we will be able to continue for this year to offer reimbursable breakfast meals free of charge to all Olympia Students. Reimbursable lunch meals will return as charges to family accounts. The application for free and reduce meals may be found on the Olympia Website/Parents/Paper Forms/Food Service.
