History of the Scrip Program Within El Dorado
Union High School District
In 1994-95 the El Dorado Union High School
District’s athletic program sustained $175,000 in budget reductions. The full
athletic program remained intact with the fund-raising efforts of parents and
students as well as with support from the Athletic Directors and the inception
of the Scrip Fund-raising Program. In order to raise $175,000, a fund-raising
activity of 40 hours
per-athlete-per-sport was established or a $95 donation per-athlete-per-sport in lieu of the 40 hours of
participation could be given. If your child will be participating in high school
athletics, you can raise the $95 donation by making purchases that will
generate scrip donations by merchants. There are also other (nonathletic)
programs at each of the four comprehensive high schools in the District where
scrip credits can be accumulated and used for expenses as determined by the
Program Advisors.

What is Scrip?
Scrip is a term which means "substitute
money." Parents, family, and friends can earn scrip credits from
participating merchants they
normally shop with. The scrip credits they earn can benefit their student(s) or
the approved programs their student(s) are involved in at the four
comprehensive high schools within the District. These merchants track purchases and
donate a percentage of these purchases to the District’s schools. The scrip
credits are posted to individual student accounts or program accounts.
The scrip credits earned in a student's account can be used towards the
$95.00 athletic donation, ASB items as ASB stickers, Homecoming tickets,
Prom tickets, Band, Drama, Future Farmers, Key Club, and Vocal programs.
You can even purchase a yearbook using your student's script credits.
There are
four scrip programs that the El Dorado Union High School District
participates in:
(1)
Raleys/Bel Air/Nob Hill markets paperless scrip
(2) eScrip (Safeway, participating restaurants, and internet merchants)
(3) Food4Less/ Nugget Markets
(4) Savemart S.H.A.R.E.S. program.

Raley's/Bel Air/Nob Hill Foods Quality of Life Paperless Scrip
Card
The Quality of Life Card
has replaced the paper scrip program. These cards are available at the
El Dorado Union High School District Office and can be
picked up Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or can be mailed
by request. After receiving
the Quality of Life Card, simply activate your card number on-line
at
www.raleys.com
or
www.nobhill.com.
After activating your card, present it to the cashier each time you shop at Raley’s, Bel Air, or Nob Hill Foods.
These stores will track your purchases
and donate a percentage based on your monthly spending to the District high school
of your choice. Raley's Markets send out their checks on a
quarterly basis. When
we receive the scrip donation, the credits will be posted to the student and/or
program you have chosen on your Scrip Program Account Set-up Form based on the
earnings reported by Raley's for your card number. The four organizations we have registered with the Raley’s/Bel Air/Nob
Hill Foods Quality of Life Paperless Scrip Card Program are:

Raley's/BelAir/Nobhill also
support some of our school parent booster programs. These programs are
not a part of the District Scrip Program. If you sign up
under one of these "booster" programs, your student's account will not
be credited. The purpose of these programs is to raise money for their
specific sports, club, or program. For example: Sober Grad
Night, Music Boosters, Cross Country, Softball, etc. Raley’s/Bel Air/Nob Hill Foods absorb all
administrative costs associated with the Quality of Life Paperless Scrip Card
Program, so there is no charge to you.
Please Note!
If you have received a Quality of Life Card from an organization
outside of the El Dorado Union High School District, you must report your
card number to Kelly Parker (see contact information below) and make sure you have a
Scrip Program Account Set-up Form on file with the El Dorado Union High School
District, otherwise your student's account will not be credited. Raley's Markets report their contributions using only the
Quality of Life Scrip
Card Number (first 11 digits) located on the back of your scrip card. Without this information on file, your
scrip credits will
be
posted to the general athletic fund. Edit your
information at
www.raleys.com or
www.nobhill.com to ensure that the scrip you
are earning is going to the high school of your choice.
