How To Earn Tuition Dollars utilizing SCRIP

• Place your paper or online SCRIP order by Monday morning at 8 a.m. each week.  (see below for directions on how to order SCRIP online)
• Paper and online SCRIP orders will be filled on Wednesdays (or Thursdays, if Monday is a school holiday) and will be available for pick up at the UC or LC main office on Fridays. SCRIP folders going home with students at the Upper Campus can be picked up by students at the end of the day on Thursday or Friday. At the Lower Campus, SCRIP folders will be placed in students’ backpacks and sent home on Fridays.
• Payment can be made by check, by PrestoPay, which is automatic debit from your bank account with a $0.15 per transaction fee, and by credit card (you pay the bank fee).

Please follow the steps below to purchase SCRIP: 

• If you have never purchased SCRIP before from SJCA, another school or church:

• • Visit www.shopwithscrip.com
  • Click on “Register”
  • Under Families, click “Join a SCRIP Program”.
  • Please contact [email protected] for the enrollment code.

• If you have ordered SCRIP from another local school or church, you can use your current username and password. On the Dashboard screen under Manage Non-Profits, add SJCA by using the enrollment code above, then order as usual.

• If you have ordered SCRIP from SJCA but have not ordered online before, FIRST please contact Cindy Sesterhenn at [email protected] to obtain a username.  If you don’t obtain a username from me first, you will create a 2nd account in the system. To keep things from getting messy, you will be assigned a username so that your online orders are tied to your current SCRIP account.

• • Visit www.shopwithscrip.com.
  • Click on “sign in”
  • Enter the username that you are sent and then click “I’ve forgotten my password” – this will allow you to set a password and connect you to the account you already have in the SCRIP system.
  • If you wish to change your username, you can do this on the Dashboard screen under Profile.

• To set up a PrestoPay account, go to the Dashboard screen under Family Functions, Payment Types and follow the instructions. This may take a day or two to set up since deposits are made into your account and need to be verified. Email [email protected] with the approval code that will be sent to you by email.  Once confirmed, your PrestoPay account is active, log in and click “shop.”

• When you order SCRIP, there may be 3 tabs on a vendor. If you look at Starbucks, you can order either a physical card (blue card icon), ScripNow! e-card (red exclamation point icon) or Reload (green arrow triangle icon).  Not all vendors offer all 3 types of SCRIP and the denominations may vary.

• Be sure to order on the correct tab. When you go to checkout, the SCRIP will be listed in your cart as “Starbucks ScripNow!” so you can double check that you have selected the right format. Reload funds can ONLY be added to a physical card that you already purchased from SCRIP, not a card purchased from a vendor directly.

• At checkout, you will be asked how you wish to pay for your SCRIP – by check, PrestoPay, credit card. You will be asked this every time you order, so if you use PrestoPay now, you are not locked into only using this method going forward. The PrestoPay fee of $0.15 fee is charged per transaction regardless of the amount of the order.

Student’s tuition, rebates accrued beginning May 1, 2020 will be applied to the tuition accounts for the 2021-2022 school year.

• Participating retailers give SJCA a percentage back every time you purchase a physical gift card, reload or ScripNow! certificate.
• Profits can benefit your SJCA tuition account, SJCA Parent Association, or a Kenosha parish.
