New Lunch-In Vendors and Menus: Order by Wednesday, April 15

4/11/2026 1:00 pm

Hello Parents,

We are thrilled to share some exciting new changes coming to the Oak Lunch-In program. The PTO is partnering with new vendors to bring even more variety to the table. New offerings will include sushi rolls, bento boxes and poke bowls from Sushi Ukai, salads and sandwiches from Pronto, Mediterranean entrees and grain bowls from Scratch Kitchen Catering, delicious combos from Egg Harbor and much, much more! 

Lunch-In days will remain exactly the same for the duration of the school year: Mondays and Fridays. This new program officially kicks off right after Spring Break.

 

NEW ORDERING PROCESS, NOW OPEN!

Oak will no longer be using MyFoodDays for Lunch-In ordering. Please see attached Lunch-In Registration Page for instructions on how to register for an account and begin ordering lunches for your child(ren) on the new program. 

Orders for the next week of Lunch-In (Mon April 20 + Fri April 24) must be placed by NOON on Wed April 15. 

Each week's lunch orders must be submitted by Wednesday at 12PM for the upcoming week. You may edit, change, or cancel orders any time before this weekly lockout. Orders can be placed weekly, monthly, or all at once for the entire semester - whatever works best for you.

VOLUNTEERS

We love and greatly appreciate our parents volunteers! We will be sharing opportunities for parents to continue to volunteer at lunchtimes. Stay tuned for this volunteer sign-up information later in April.

We can’t wait to kick off this upgraded Lunch-In experience! If you have any immediate questions, feel free to reach out to Kacy Baker or Kelly Basu. Thank you for your continued support - here’s to even happier, tastier lunch days ahead!

Warmly, 
Your PTO Team
