TRIP Policies

1. Anyone establishing a TRIP account MUST be familiar with the policies and submit a registration form.
2. The TRIP program will run bi-weekly during the entire year, except for normally scheduled vacations.
3. The account number on your order will be the same as your assigned WCS number on your tuition statement.
4. Family or friends may help you with your TRIP by registering and receiving their own account number. Parents looking to the future and planning for the Christian education of their young children at Whitinsville Christian School can also participate. These families will be assigned an account number, the monies earned will be held by WCS, and will be credited as a tuition payment when their child is enrolled as a student.
5. All certificate orders must be accompanied by checks made payable to Whitinsville Christian School - TRIP. CHECKS ONLY PLEASE!! These checks are non-tax deductible because participants receive dollar for dollar value. The back of the checks will be stamped For Deposit Only, Whitinsville Christian School. Anyone writing a non-sufficient funds (NSF) check will incur a fee of $20.00 to be paid to TRIP. After two NSF checks are tendered on your TRIP account, your TRIP ordering privileges will be suspended for the remainder of the school year.
6. The percentage earned on each participating family’s account will be held by TRIP and credited to your tuition account in January and June. If your tuition is paid in full for that year, it will be credited to the next year’s balance. Any discrepancies must be brought to the attention of the TRIP coordinator within two weeks of the statement date.
7. Orders may be placed in the TRIP mailbox any time before the order date. Deadline is 1:00 P.M.
8. Order Pick-up Orders may be picked up anytime beginning Monday morning. If you are having a student pick them up, please note the following: In Grades K - 5 we will bring the order to the teachers for distribution. In Grades 6 - 12 the student must pick up the order and sign for it. a. Child or Mail: A DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY FORM must be signed before certificates will be mailed home or released to your child. These forms will be kept on file. Your child will only receive the certificates ordered under your family account. You must provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope for mailing purposes. b. Adult: Filled orders and a new order form will be available on Monday, at 8:00 a.m. in the Development Office. A friend or relative may also pick up your certificates, provided they sign a form available at the time of pick up.
9. The gift certificates are the same as cash. Neither Whitinsville Christian School nor TRIP will accept responsibility for lost or misplaced certificates.
10. In no way does Whitinsville Christian School or the TRIP program endorse the stores listed on the order forms. You must make your own decision whether to purchase from certain stores.
11. Each store has their own policy on change back from certificates. Find out before paying for your purchase and be courteous to store clerks.
