Points System 

2008-2009 SKDS Point System

The following point system has been adopted by Saint Katharine Drexel School. This system helps us to meet our goals financially and to keep tuition affordable. More importantly, the points system creates a whole school effort and encourages our families to get involved in their children’s education.

Families may earn points in 3 ways:

1.  By volunteering for the Parish and School
2.  By selling development raffle tickets
3.  By purchasing Scrip

1 point = 1 hour of volunteer time*
1 point = 1 development raffle ticket sold
1 point = $100 of purchased Scrip**

*Volunteer hours must be performed by the immediate family. Families may not earn points for any hours associated with the Band Guild or Athletic Association. 

**Immediate family must make Scrip purchases.  Families may not receive points for purchases made by grandparents, relatives and friends.

Each year, points will start accumulating July 1 and will end on June 15 of that current school year. All points start over each year; there is no carry-over.

*Please note:  Supervisors for each volunteer opportunity may set requirements for these volunteer hours and have the right to refuse volunteers for not meeting these requirements. All Volunteer opportunities and hours are subject to approval by the administration.

The Administration will have the power to exempt families from the program due to extenuating circumstances. In order to ensure security and privacy, Scrip coordinators will keep track of all points earned each month from raffle sales, volunteer time and Scrip purchases. Quarterly reports will be printed and given to the principal for review and disbursement to families. Statements for families who have been exempted from the program will be removed by the principal to maintain confidentiality.

The points break down like this:

 K-8 Point System Requirements

  • 1 child family = 50 points.

  • 2 child family = 65 points.

  • 3 + child family = 75 points.

Unearned Points:

Any point(s) not earned by June 15 will be subject to a fee of $10 per point.  The charge for remaining points will be treated as delinquent tuition.
