Meals at Our Schools

At James Lintott Elementary (grades K-2), Orin Smith Elementary (Grades 3-5) and Chehalis Middle School (grades 6-8) all students receive one meal free at breakfast and lunch. At W.F. West High School, students are responsible to pay for their meals. No matter where your student attends school, we want you to fill out the application forms if your family meets income requirements for free or reduced meal prices. That’s because being qualified for free or reduced meals can also help your family qualify for other assistance, such as HB1660, which can assist in fees for optional noncurricular extracurricular expenses. 

Free & Reduced Lunch applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be available in mid August.

Check Out If You Need a Check Up

There are many reasons why your student may need to visit your family doctor before the start of the school year. Physical forms for our student athletes need to be renewed every year. There are also immunizations due for students at certain ages. CLICK HERE for school related health information from our nurse’s office.

Log In to ParentSquare & Skyward

Skyward is our student information system while ParentSquare is our district’s primary form of communication with families.

• On Skyward you can check your student’s grades, attendance and progress toward graduation requirements. You can also sign up to receive progress reports for your student and alerts for their grades or school lunch account.
• On ParentSquare, you can send and receive messages.

All families of active students with a Skyward account automatically receive ParentSquare messages but registering your account allows you to customize your preferred language and message delivery options. CLICK HERE to read more about ParentSquare & Skyward and to get started.

We are so grateful for our many volunteers, both parents and community members, who help out at our schools. Before volunteering anywhere in the Chehalis School District, you are required to fill out a form, which includes a background check, and be cleared by the district office. Volunteers need to renew their clearance every two years. For more information about how to apply to become a volunteer, go to THIS LINK.

The Chehalis School District will once again be on a two-tiered schedule for the 2025-2026 school year. This means that W.F. West High School (grades 9-12) and Chehalis Middle School (grades 6-8) begin and end an hour earlier than Orin Smith Elementary (grades 3-5) and James Lintott Elementary (grades K-2).

We will also be having 90-minute early release most Wednesdays for Professional Academic Work for Success time. 

If your family has need of before- or after-school care for your student or care for your student after early release for PAWS, check out THIS LINK with information about offerings from our community partners.
