4 Easy Ways to Support
Prospect Sierra School
What is eScrip?
eScrip is a vehicle through which merchants contribute a percentage of sales to schools and other nonprofits. Hundreds of in-store and online merchants participate, including Andronico's, Safeway, Target, The Apple Store, L.L. Bean, Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods, American Airlines, and Nordstrom.
How does eScrip work?
Simply register your credit, debit cards, and grocery club cards. Each time you use the cards at a participating store, or shop online, the merchant pays a percentage of the sale (between 2% and 18%, depending on the store) to the school.
How do I register?
Online: Parents, staff, grandparents, and friends visit www.escrip.com to enroll. There is no fee to register. If you have registered previously, please go online to update your school
designation to include Prospect Sierra and, if needed, update credit/debit
cards. Safeway requires that you re-enroll each year, but the renewal process is very simple.
Mail or fax: Registration forms are available
at the school offices. If you have questions, please contact
the Parent Association  .
Still not sure?
It is a painless way to raise thousands of dollars for Prospect Sierra. Each time you buy something you would have purchased anyway, the merchant contributes a percentage to the school.We now raise about $10,000 per year. We have the potential to raise more than $20,000 if all our parents registered.
Why are the funds raised so important?
eScrip and Schoolpop have been a key source of funds for many school program enrichments, such as
- middle school climbing and playground equipment
- sound systems for physical education classes on both campuses
- the scoreboard in the multipurpose room at Avis
- Parent Association events and programs, including the Panther Picnic, the popular Parent Education series, and Faculty-Staff Appreciation
- the new Parent Association grant program, providing funds that enrich curricular and classroom projects at all grade levels
- renovation of the Avis and Tapscott staff kitchens
Who decides how to use the funds?
The Parent Association, to which all parents belong, together with the school
administration, decides how the funds will be used.

Ink Cartridges
The Technology Department spearheads the effort to recycle ink cartridges. We can recycle HP, Canon, and Lexmark ink cartridges. We do not recycle ANY toner cartridges except those generated by the school. There are collection boxes in both front offices and in the Avis Tech Lab. Funds earned support our Tech program.
