Summer Update 3

8/11/25

Dear Oak Brook Families,

We look forward to our students getting to meet their teachers this week. Tomorrow, you will receive an email from your child’s teacher introducing him/her to you. Last spring we took parent feedback, teacher feedback and what we knew about each student. Much work has gone into balancing classes and we appreciate the partnership you will have with your child’s teacher this school year.

Have a great Monday!

Sincerely,

Katie & Chris

Cafeteria Information

Our cafeteria offers a balanced hot lunch. Each student will use a personal identification number (PIN) to make purchases from their personal cafeteria "Bank Account." This account is used for purchasing meals and a la carte items. Parkway publishes monthly menus and more information about our school lunch and breakfast program may be found on the website linked below.

Students will not be receiving free/reduced breakfast and lunch unless they qualify for it through an application process. You may find more information about qualifying for free/reduced lunch including the application at the link below.

Students who bring their lunch may still buy items in the cafeteria including milk or juice. If a child is only receiving a milk, his/her lunch account will be charged.

Food Safety Expectations

Oak Brook follows the Food Safety Expectations of the Parkway School District Health Services Department. These expectations are as follows:

Classrooms are food-free whenever possible
Students may bring a snack for their own consumption (to prevent possible cross-contamination that could impact the health of students with allergies, classes may have an advisory to avoid snacks with particular allergens)
Food may not be brought from home to share class-wide
Safe and inclusive ways to celebrate without food will be used for birthday celebrations and classroom parties
Food will not be used as a reward or motivator

Thank you for working with us to keep all of our students safe. If you have a question, please do not hesitate to contact an administrator or Mrs. Rothrock, Oak Brook School Nurse.
