SCRIP INFORMATION
What is Scrip? Scrip is a tuition reduction program which can be started at any time. Credit that is earned prior to your child's enrollment at CPCS will be held in your family's tuition account until they are enrolled.
How does Scrip work? Scrip gift cards or certificates are ordered online from the order form at face value. These are for items that you would be buying anyway in your normal walk of life (groceries, fuel, clothing, restaurants, gifts, etc.) and they are "same as cash" at the retailer. Kohls allows you to pay your credit card bill with them, but they are the only department store that currently does this.
The school purchases these gift certificates at a discount (amount of discount for each retailer is noted on the order form). The difference between what you pay and what the school pays is the profit. We split the profit: ¾ of it is credited to your tuition account and the remaining ¼ goes to the school to pay the expenses of running this program, along with a small amount of profit. Along with each order, you are given a notice of the net profit to your account. Tuition accounts are credited 3 times per year, at which time it will show on your statement as a credit or you will receive a notice of the accumulated credit.
How do I register for Scrip? To begin benefiting from this easy moneymaker, you must complete a registration form and submit it to Paulette Schaap in the school office. No orders will be released without your signature on this form. You may elect on this form to have your order sent home with the student of your choice or have them kept in the office for pick-up.
How do I order Scrip? As of October 1, 2011 online ordering is available at www.ShopWithScrip.com. If you are placing a first time order you will need to set-up a family account. You can also order by filling out a current hard copy order form. All available retailers can be found at www.glscrip.com. If you want to order from any retailer that is not listed on our current order form, just write it at the bottom of your form when you place your order.
How do I pay for Scrip? Once your order has been placed, you can pay by check, money order or Presto Pay. It is important to remember to send your payment in to Paulette Schaap if you order online and choose not to use Presto Pay.
Important: Any order that has been submitted but not paid for by the "Orders Due" date will NOT be placed.
If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to email the Scrip coordinator at pschaap@crownpointchristian.org or call 219-365-5694.
