Okaloosa County Schools will be participating in the Summer Food Service Program during the months of June and July.
Nutritionally balanced meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age or national origin during the summer vacation when school breakfasts and lunches are not available. All children 18 years old and younger, if open site, are eligible for meals at no charge, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. The programs are only approved for geographical areas of need where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced-prince meals during the school year.
Summer feeding sites that are located at schools provide meals to all children in the immediate vicinity in addition to those enrolled in summer school.
See the list of sites by name, location, dates and starting and ending times of meal service.

School Advisory Council (SAC) 2021-2022
We are looking for members to be on our SAC committee next year. The job requires a monthly commitment of time between a 1/2 hour to 2 hours (which is normally only the first meeting). The meetings start at 3 pm on the last Tuesday of each month. If you cannot make a meeting, advising Mrs. Diamond of your absence will alleviate the bylaws required dismissal of member who miss 2 consecutive meetings. There are certain items that the state and district require approval of SAC, such as fund expenditures (A+ monies, Title Funds) and other items. Each meeting must have a 51% quorum in attendance. The School Advisory Council also has input in the School Performance Plan, Parent and Family Engagement Plan, just to name a few. It is a very important function at Elliott Point and we are in need of new members for the upcoming school year. If you would like to know more about being a member of SAC, please contact Mrs. Anita Diamond at 850-833-3355 during school and diamonda@okaloosaschools.com anytime.
Parent Enhancement Team (PET) 2021-2022
Our PET is seeking new members for the upcoming school year. Several of our past PET member's families are moving on to other adventures, and we are in need of new membership. We meet at 8 am on the first Thursday of each month with the first meeting being August 12, 2021. The PET meets to plan such events as Open House dinner, Math & Science dinner, Holiday Shop, Pajama Rma Reading Night dinner, Spring Carnival and other events that occur during the school year. We hold fundraisers to pay for the dinners as well as for items that the school or students may need. We also volunteer around the school with school beautification, and reading with students, just to name a few. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Mrs. Anita Diamond at 850-833-3355 during school or anytime at diamonda@okaloosaschools.com.
