gift-giving a snap!"
What Is It?
The Tuition
Credit Program (TCP) is a program where you buy gift cards
to stores you regularly shop at
at face cost. For each gift card bought, a percentage of the
cost gets credited to your tuition amount due next year and
an equal percentage goes to St. Christopher School. You can
use the gift card as you would any other -- to make a
purchase in a store, possibly online, or even as a gift!
How Does It
Work?
-
Sign up for an account at
ShopWithScrip.com.
Use the code "96L43A4D8857"
when you register. You only have to sign up for an
account once. Make sure your child’s grade and teacher
are included.
-
You can put in an order online at any time through ShopWithScrip.
Payment for the order must be received at the school by
8 am on Monday morning. The order will be placed that
morning.
-
Hundreds of stores are listed on the ShopWithScrip site. The
website is very user friendly – you can save your
favorite cards, and you may set up payments from your
checking/savings account with their Presto Pay program
(This eliminates having to send a check in on time!).
-
Each store listed on the site has an associated percentage.
Half
of that percentage will get credited to your tuition for
2010-2011. The other half goes to support St. Chris.
-
Cards are sent home with your child by Friday (usually earlier).
You have the option to pick up your cards in the office
too.
What are some of
the stores that I can get gift cards to?
Shop Rite,
Stop and Shop, Gulf, Barnes and Noble, Staples, Ninety-Nine,
Chili's, Home Depot, and Walmart are just a few.
What if I can't
or don't want to use the online site?
We also
accept orders on a
paper order form.
They can be found on the table outside the office.02
