Lunch Program Updates from Rigsby’s


We’re always looking for ways to make lunch ordering easier and more flexible for our Oakbrook families!


You’ll now notice that each menu item is listed à la carte rather than as a full entrée with sides. This change allows you to mix and match your favorite items and select sides more easily — creating the perfect lunch combination for your student.


We’ve also worked with Rigsby’s to add a little more flexibility to the ordering schedule:

  • Monday orders must be submitted by Friday at 3:00 p.m.
  • Tuesday and Wednesday orders may now be placed as late as Monday at 8:00 a.m.
  • The remainder of the week’s orders should still be submitted 48 hours in advance:
  • Tuesday by 8:00 a.m. for Thursday, and
  • Wednesday by 8:00 a.m. for Friday.

We hope these updates make ordering simpler and more convenient — and we’re grateful for your continued support of our local lunch partner, Rigsby’s!
