How do I buy SCRIP?
Stop by the SCRIP table (located between room K-1 & K-2) before or after school Monday through Friday.  You can download and complete the order form in advance (SCRIP Form) or use one from the SCRIP table.  Payment is accepted in cash or check and most orders can be filled completely year round.

 
You can also submit an order through your child’s “White Envelope” (used by all teachers to send flyers and completed work home each Friday) and request that the SCRIP be held for you at the SCRIP table or in the office.  We cannot send scrip home in the White Envelope.
 

When can I buy SCRIP?

Monday through Friday 8:45-9:15am and 2:45-3:15pm

 
Can I buy SCRIP other than what is listed on the Order Form?
We stock the SCRIP products that historically have been the most popular with our Los Alamitos families.  But, many others are available.  A complete list of SCRIP that can be “special ordered” is available at the SCRIP table.  You can also contact Sue Greene to inquire about other SCRIP.

 

What is our goal?
Los Alamitos' goal is to maintain a state standardized music curriculum that is sequential in nature, building upon concepts learned in previous years.  The curriculum integrates Kodaly music fundamentals, theatrical experiences and instrumental instruction, particularly the recorder. While grants provided by Cultural Initiatives of Silicon Valley (CISV), and The Valley Foundation, had initially funded our music instruction, the program must NOW be financially self-sustainable.

Why do we need Scrip?
The Los Alamitos music program needs fund-raising support to keep us going. K-3 music instruction at Los Alamitos depends solely upon funds raised through the Scrip program. The district does not fund it at all.

 
Where are we now?
The K-3 Music Program is 100% financially self sustained through Scrip fund-raising efforts in their various forms.
Fund-raising is therefore continuous and never-ending!

 
How can YOU help the Music Program?
Los Alamitos needs 100% participation from all of our families by using the Scrip program. We need your immediate and extended family! Please show your commitment to this important program by participating in at least two forms of Scrip fund-raising. Studies prove music's value in early childhood education. Between the various forms of Scrip, some are most certainly in line with your family's way of managing household expenses and gift giving. Scrip program does not cost anything extra, it is simply a way of doing business that profits our school. We thank you for your willingness to "learn how" and for your  continued support.
