What is SCRIP?
SCRIP is a program where national and local retailers sell gift certificates to an organization, in our case it's through the Broome County Catholic Schools. The
gift certificates are purchased at face value and spend just like cash at the participating retailers.

How does it work?
An order form is sent home with your student monthly or you can click the link below to print out an order form. Checks for the total amount should be made payable to OLS-SCMS PTO. The school then purchases the gift certificates from SCRIP and the retailer gives the school back a percentage of the purchase price. The amount of revenue that the school gets back depends on the retailer. The school keeps track of the revenue each family generates monthly from their SCRIP purchases during the 2009-2010 school year. This revenue can applied towards a tuition credit for your child for the following school year. The tuition credit is equal to the amount of revenue generated by the Scrip orders placed in your family's name during the 2009-2010 school year and is subtracted from your 2010-2011 tuition bill. The 2009-2010 order due dates are:

Tuesday, September 15, 2009		Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Tuesday, October 13, 2009		Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Tuesday, November 3, 2009		Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Tuesday, December 1, 2009		Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Wednesday, January 6, 2010		Tuesday, July 27, 2010

There may be an order submitted over the 2010 Summer break that will apply towards the 2011-2012 school year.

Please note that the order form contains only a partial list of SCRIP available. Visit www.glscrip.com for a complete list participating retailers.
