We have office hours (we are open 3 days a week), we are a private school so we also sell after services on Sundays. We do have a secretary on site that will distribute orders that we have filled. They are stored in a box and when someone comes to pick up an order that they have already placed, they sign that they have picked them up.
We do send home orders with the children if that is what the parents wish. We do have the parents sign a form stating that once we distribute the cards to the classrooms, we are no longer liable for them We also have folders that we send them to the children in, and the child must initial that they have received the items.
We are just starting a Scrip Program. Our 2 coordinators have it worked out that we will have one pick up night each month that coordinates with Market Day pickup. Pick up both things at the same time.
The other option is to have cards sent home with students. Our coordinator found a waiver on the GLscrip.com website. It basically states that if you sign the waiver, you are allowing your child to carry it home and the PTA takes no further responsibility.
The Scrip cards at our school are disctributed to the parents at school at the first of the year and then sent home with the kids. On our order form, we aks how the parent wants to receive the cards. Don't think there has been any problem with that method.
We are considering a scrip fundraising program. Our biggest concern is how to get the cards to the parents, reliably. We could send them home with the students, but I fear that some parents may claim to have not received them.
We *could* limit distribution to periodic events, but i wonder if that would be too limiting, as we only have 2 or 3 big events each year.
