Lunch numbers are making a comeback!
Starting Wednesday, April 1st, all students will be provided with a unique four-digit lunch number that will be used for breakfast and lunch. This number will remain with your child throughout their time in the school system, from elementary school until they graduate high school.
Students will need their lunch numbers to receive both breakfast and lunch. During this transitional phase, students with a backpack will bring home a laminated green card attached to it. Students without a backpack will carry the card home separately. This card will display your child’s name and lunch number.
We strongly encourage you to review these numbers with your children to help them memorize them. This will speed up the process during meal times and ensure a smooth transition for all students.
Thank you so much for your support and for working with us as a team in this matter.

📣 Looking Ahead to the 2026–2027 School Year
Okeechobee County Schools is announcing a series of campus transitions that will take effect beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. These changes are designed to better serve students at every grade level, align programs with the right facilities, and maximize the benefits of recent and upcoming capital investments across the district.
With the completion of the new Okeechobee High School campus, the school will expand to serve students in grades 9–12 full-time. Ninth-grade students will attend school at the new high school campus. This transition provides students with a more cohesive high school experience and expanded access to programs and opportunities.
As part of these changes, secondary students currently enrolled at Okeechobee Achievement Academy will relocate to the former Freshman Campus building. Elementary students participating in the IBP program will transition to Seminole Elementary School. These moves allow academic programs to be better aligned with facilities designed to support student needs and focused services.
In addition, the district will open a new Early Learning Center dedicated exclusively to VPK students. Having VPK as the only students on this campus allows for a safe, welcoming, and age-appropriate environment focused on early childhood development, early literacy, and kindergarten readiness.
To support these transitions, capital improvement projects will take place at the newly configured Okeechobee Achievement Academy and the future Early Learning Center. These improvements will focus on refreshing facilities, enhancing learning spaces, and ensuring students and families are welcomed into modern, engaging environments. The district will also work closely with families to support student transportation needs wherever possible.
These campus transitions reflect a thoughtful, long-term approach to serving students at every stage of their educational journey. Additional details, timelines, and family communications will be shared as planning continues.
💜Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to support student success across Okeechobee County Schools.
