St. James School SCRIP Program

POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

1. Any family wishing to participate in the St. James SCRIP program must be registered with the program each school year. Registration cost is $1 per year to cover the cost of the blue envelope. Fee is waived if blue envelope is returned from last year.

2. Participants can earn credit toward their St. James tuition payments by purchasing SCRIP certificates through the program. One half of the profits from your SCRIP purchases will be credited to your St. James tuition. Payments will be made directly to St. James School on behalf of participating families on December 1 and May 1.

3. Each family will receive a statement outlining their SCRIP purchases and credit totals two weeks prior to the payout date. Any discrepancy must be brought to the attention of the Program Coordinator within 5 days of the statement date.

4. SCRIP orders must be accompanied by payment in cash or check made payable to St. James School. There is a $20.00 charge for returned checks (NSF).

5. SCRIP certificates are NOT tax-deductible.

6. Participants are responsible for verifying their order at the time of receipt. In the event that you should find a discrepancy in your order, please contact the school office within 2 school days.
