Office Medications

When you registered your child on PowerSchool you may have indicated that you gave permission for the office to issue over the counter medication to your child. Parents who have made this indication will be notified via email if their child was in need of, and given, over the counter medication during the school day (pain relief, antacid, etc) will be. Please check, and update PowerSchool if you DO NOT want us to give over the counter meds without a phone call each time.

Fundraisers

SCRIP

What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.

How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!

$50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
$100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit

Click here for the SCRIP order form . SCRIP can be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.

We’re excited to share that our school is participating in Cash for Classrooms, part of Casey’s Rewards. This opens up St. Patrick School to new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students.
The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.
Help St. Patrick School make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
