How can I get a refund from my student’s lunch account?
Please fill out the Lunch Account Refund Form if you want a refund or need to transfer funds from your child’s lunch account. Refunds are processed once per month on the day after the monthly board meeting, so please be mindful when requesting a refund — they are not immediate. The refund will be turned in to the business office for payment two weeks prior to the board meeting and will be put on the docket for the board meeting. Checks are mailed out the day after the board approves the docket. I will cross-reference what is put on this form with what is in PowerSchool for the student. If you have any questions, please email jsclements@oxfordsd.org.

Can my child purchase snacks at lunch?
If a child purchases a cafeteria-produced lunch, in addition to regular entrées and side dishes, a child may purchase what are called “Extras”. These foods are smart snack approved items such as chips, bottled water and ice cream. Prices vary by item.
If a child brings their lunch from home, they may purchase ONLY dairy products (including milk) and/or bottled water.
