What is Scrip?

• SCRIP is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase SCRIP, you’re simply purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. By buying these cards through the school you help earn revenue for St. Joseph School. This helps keep your tuition costs down at no additional expense to you.  Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, and even gasoline can be purchased with SCRIP! So the money we raise comes from the businesses you frequent, not from you! Please consider using SCRIP in your everyday purchases. Every little bit will help raise money for the school and our kids! 

 

How does Scrip generate revenue for the school?

• When large amounts of SCRIP are purchased from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a discount because they're guaranteeing themselves customers and some goodwill advertising. St. Joseph's School buys the gift cards at a discount, and re-sells the gift cards to families like yours for full face value. The $10 Gift Card you purchase is worth the full $10 at the store just like cash. 

 

Who can buy Scrip?

• Anyone can submit a Scrip Order or place an online order! Our families, their families and friends may use the Scrip Order Form or register on Raiseright to buy their gift cards through our school! The more people who participate, the more money the school makes!

 

How can I buy Scrip?

• One way is by printing and using the Scrip order form found on this website and sent home regularly through the family envelopes. Completed Scrip Order Forms,  along with Cash or Check (Check payable to St. Joseph School), may be placed in the family envelope or sent in any envelope and brought to school. Completed order forms may also be dropped off at the office any day during our regular office hours. All payments must be for the exact amount of the order. 

• Another way is by setting up an account on raiseright.com which offers  hundreds of Scrip products and does not require any sensitive personal or financial information. When you register, please use our school enrollment code 18BA36C423859 then follow the instructions to place an order. Send a copy of your order, along with the payment, to the school office. Orders are sent home via the oldest SJS student in the family unless otherwise instructed.

• Orders may be paid for online via the Raiseright app once your Raiseright account is linked to it. Ship to home is also available.

 

What happens if my check bounces?

• You will be charged $15 for a bounced check. Any account with 2 returned checks will be put on a cash only basis.
