Lunch Program

Our Food Service Partner

Food 4 Life looks forward to serving the students, faculty and staff of The Oakridge School this year.

For the beginning months of the 2020-2021 school year, students will either eat with their pod classmates in the classroom or in an outdoor space. While students are able to bring their own lunch from home, microwaves will not be available for student use. For those who wish to purchase lunch, Food4Life will offer three different boxed lunch options, daily. Food4Life purchases will be by account only; no cash will be accepted. Additionally, with no visitors allowed on campus, lunch delivery is not an option this school year.

Once full operations resume, Food4Life will offer a wide variety of fresh, homemade meals. Our meals include healthy options, fresh, locally-sourced (when possible) vegetables and fruits, chicken breast in all of our chicken dishes, and homemade soups and salad dressings. We offer foods with limited preservatives. Our chefs are always working to create new delicious, fresh and trendy items to introduce to the menu!

Each month, the lunch menu will be posted on the Oakridge website as well as the Food 4 Life website at www.food4lifecaterer.com for review. Each day, students and staff will have several choices, including a:

Hot plate lunch that is a well-balanced offering of protein, vegetables, starch and dessert
Chef specials, which include our most popular fresh burger bar, wing bar, brisket bar and other great, on trend, type items
We offer daily a la carte items including sandwiches and wraps, baked potatoes, and daily specials such as pizza, pot stickers, edamame and homemade hummus, to name a few
We also offer a full salad bar that includes roasted meats, fresh vegetables and fruits, and daily specialty salads

We are aware of food allergies and dietary concerns. We offer daily vegetarian options and anything made with any type of nut is clearly marked. We always strive for the best ingredients and choices for the students and staff of The Oakridge School.

Birthday Package

Food 4 Life is pleased to offer a birthday package for Oakridge families wanting to celebrate their child's special day!

Under normal circumstances, most parents would bring in cake, cupcakes, or pizza to share with their child's classmates. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and school restrictions, parents are not allowed to do this currently.

With Food 4 Life, children will still be able to celebrate their birthday with classmates. Click on this link to learn about the party package options available or to obtain more information.

Account Management

Payment Methods

Students will be able to pay for their meals with cash or through a lunch account. Food 4 Life uses DRX Software for managing all lunch accounts. New students must open an account with a check or cash, child's name, parent name and email address.

Once an account has been set up, parents will receive an email with registration key and instructions for managing their child's account. With this system, parents are able to:

Put restrictions on what foods their child may purchase
View what their child is eating
Set up an automated credit or debit card deduction to add money to the account

Parents receive automated emails when their child's account balance reaches $15 or less.

Returning Students

Returning students will use the same account as last year. All balances left over from the previous year will be transferred to the next year. We encourage all parents to use the online system at www.schools.drxsoft.com to manage their child's lunch account.

The seven digit ID code is: f4loars.

If you are a returning parent/student you can use the same username and password as you had last year. Please make sure parent information is correct and current credit card is set up.
