Welcome to Walters Public School

We have exciting news for all WPS students. As of September 1, 2020, we have been approved to student serve meals for free. This is in part due to the USDA and State of Oklahoma’s Covid meal waiver. This waiver is good through December 31, 2020, or until funding runs out. This meal program is the same program we offered during recent closures. We will also have the ability to feed any student under the age of 18.

Any lunch payments will be credited back to the student accounts to be used after the waiver ends.

Just a reminder -- If you have not completed the free/reduced meal application please take time to complete it.
