Welcome to Joan Austin Elementary School!

SCRIP - Why is it important for your children? 

All proceeds from SCRIP orders go directly back into the classroom. The

PTO uses this money to reimburse teachers who have purchased materials out of their own pockets for our children.  THANK YOU for helping us say THANKS to our teachers!

Use the Weekly SCRIP Order Form (English Only) link at the bottom of this page to print the order form and place your order today!

SCRIP - What is it?

SCRIP raises money from businesses. You buy gift cards and gift certificates from companies you use anyway, and they give a % of that money to the school. You spend the money that you already do- no fees!

For example, if you shop at Fred Meyer, purchase Fred Meyer gift cards through the SCRIP program and FRED MEYER donates money to our school!

We need your help! If you can help, please call Sarah Mahaffey 503-545-8785 or Jeff Grider 503-744-0505 (jaevolunteer@gmail.com)
