The St. Joseph School Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is provided for St. Joseph families to help supplement tuition costs and the school budget.  T.R.I.P. purchases gift cards at a discount and sells them to participating families.  The profit is returned to the school families for their tuition accounts and to the school.

 

Kroger Community Rewards Program

A very important part of T.R.I.P.  is the Kroger Community Rewards Program.  Kroger donates two million dollars per year to charities in Michigan through their rewards program.  All you have to do to participate and begin earning some of that money for St. Joseph School and your tuition account is to link your Kroger Plus Card with our school's NPO number – 82813.  This can be done online at www.krogercommunityrewards.com.  Step by step instructions are provided on the back of this form if needed.

 

How To Order Gift Cards

-        drop off your order at the school or send it in with your child

-        gift cards will be sold on Monday mornings in the school cafeteria from 8:00am-9:00am

-        gift cards will be sold on the 1^st Sunday of each month at the church from 9:00am-12:00pm

Order Pick Up

All orders received by Monday morning by 9:00am will be available for pick up on Wednesday evening from 6:30pm-7:30pm inside the entrance of the school or in the school office from 8:00am-3:30pm beginning on Thursday of the same week.  Students may take home orders if a current Enrollment Form has been signed to do so by the child's parents. 

 

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 from the previous August-June purchases.  The amount of your credit can be deducted from your tuition payments, but cannot be used for materials fees.  All of the money that is earned by your participation in the program is split between your tuition account and the school.  Your account will receive 75% of the profit and the remaining 25% is donated to the school.

 

St. Joseph Green Certificates

St. Joseph School Green Certificates are sold through T.R.I.P.  The certificates can be used at many local St. John's businesses.  The businesses give 5% of all your purchases back to St. Joseph School and your tuition account.  A separate list of all the participating businesses is available where T.R.I.P is being sold or online at the school website, www.stjoecatholic.com.  Current order forms, enrollment forms, and updated T.R.I.P. information are also available on the school website.
