The St. Joseph School Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is provided to St. Joseph families to help supplement tuition costs and the school budget.  Grocery and retail stores sell certificates and gift cards to the school for a discount.  TRIP allows families to purchase these certificates and gift cards through St. Joseph School.  The discounted amount is given back to individual families and to the school.  

Enrollment is open to all St. Joseph School families, as well as those who use the religious education programs. Enrollment forms are available for signup where TRIP is being sold.  All families are permitted and encouraged to obtain orders from relatives or friends.

How to order: There are four different ways proved to make TRIP purchases convenient for you:  1) You may drop off your order at the school any day of the week or send your order in to school with your child.  2) You may place your order in the locked TRIP box at the base of the stairs leading to the church office.  3) Certificates and gift cards will be sold and orders will be taken on Monday mornings from 8:20am – 9:30am in the cafeteria.  4) Orders will be taken on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm – 7:30pm at the school. 5) TRIP will be sold in the church basement from 9am – noon every first Sunday of the month.

Order pick up:  All orders received by Monday morning at 9:30am will be available for pickup on Wednesday from 6:30pm – 7:30pm or at the school office from 8:30am 0 4:00pm beginning on Thursday.  You may designate another adult to pick up your order by providing this information on your enrollment form.  Orders will not be sent home with students. Orders received after the Monday morning deadline will not be available until Wednesday evening the following week.

Tuition Credit Distribution: All participating families will receive credit for the upcoming school year at the end of August, as the new school year begins.  The credit is the accumulation form the previous August – June purchases.  The amount of your credit can be deducted from your tuition payments, but cannot be used for book fees.

St. Joseph Green Certificates: Are sold by way of the same order form. They are a generic certificate which you can use at specific St. Johns businesses. No change will be given for these certificates and they should not be used for sale merchandise. A separate list of businesses is available. Please thank the local businesses for their support.

If you have any questions, please contact Tera Wenzlick at 227-1309.
