1.
nothing to
use. You pay face value for you gift
cards and use them for everyday purchases as well as
gifts. At the same time, you will be earning credit
for yourself and helping our school.
2. Our school receives an average of 2-20% with
every purchase of Scrip and you in turn will receive
1-10% (50% of the discount) in the form of
a tuition credit that can be used at either Ascension or
Scrip and designate it for your family.
3. Our credit year runs from April 14-March
30. In the beginning of March, if you
have earned $25 or more
in credit, you
will receive a statement showing the amount of your tuition credit and where
you want it
applied. Besides using it towards tuition, you can
choose to donate "your credit" to another school
family. Money not designated will be placed into the
school's fundraising account.
4. An enrollment form must be
completed, for all families who use the Scrip program.
5. SCRIP certificates are non returnable.
6. Delivery of Scrip orders: The purchaser and a
member of the SCRIP committee will verify orders. The
purchaser’s
signature on the order form indicates an
authorized person has received the order in its entirety. In the
unlikely event
there is a discrepancy in the SCRIP order, purchaser will contact an Ascension
SCRIP Chairperson
within 7 days.
7. Currently, payments are accepted by cash,
checks, and money orders made payable to Ascension Home and School.
The checks are not tax deductible because
the purchaser received dollar for dollar value.
8. A
non-sufficient funds (NSF) check will result in the following steps:
-When the
treasurer receives notice of a check with insufficient funds for a financial
institution, Scrip
coordinators will be
notified and only cash will be accepted from those identified.
-If within
two weeks, the check has not cleared, then a reminder letter signed by the
Treasurer will be sent to
those identified
requesting the amount be paid, offering the ability to arrange payment with
Home and
School. A $5 bank fee will be assessed and future
Scrip purchases can be purchased for cash only.
-If a
second notice is received for the same check, then a second reminder letter
will be sent with the same
text as the first
letter and additional text stating that a meeting with the Principal will be
set up within two
weeks of mailing if
payment is not received. The Treasurer
and the Home and School President will sign
this letter.
-Any
disputes between parties should be brought to the attention of the Principal
and a meeting will be set up
to discuss
resolution.
9. The Scrip certificates/cards are just like
cash. Neither
Chairpersons will accept responsibility
for lost, stolen, misplaced, or expired cards or certificates.
10. The Scrip can be used just like cash at the
participating retailers. Scrip cards
have varying expiration dates
from three
months to one or two years. Some Scrip
cards have no expiration dates. Some
retailers limit the
amount of
change that can be given. Most simply
keep a balance on the card until it zeros out.
It is the
responsibility
of the purchaser to keep track of the expiration date of the certificates. Information can be found on
the Great Lake
