What Schools Can I Choose To Give Extra Credit To?
Schools within MIDFLORIDA’s service area of Polk, Highlands, Hardee, DeSoto and Okeechobee counties, and portions of Hillsborough and Pasco counties in Florida are eligible to participate. However, before the school can be activated to begin receiving donations, the principal of the school must agree to the Extra Credit effort.
How do I enroll my MIDFLORIDA debit card to earn Extra Credit?
Click on the Enroll Card button and complete the short enrollment form. Once you’ve completed the form, you’ll begin earning credit with each transaction that you process using your MIDFLORIDA debit card as a credit.
When will my school receive their Extra Credit donation?
Funds will accrue daily until the check presentation in early December of each year.
What can I do if my school isn’t activated yet?
Call your school principal and tell him/her there’s an easy Extra Credit opportunity for him/her if he/she will just contact Jeanette Wallace at (863) 616-2118 ext. 2055.
Can I change my school designation?
Yes, you may change the school that your debit card is attached to at any time.
To make a change, click on Enroll Card, complete the fields and submit. The change will take place within 24 hours and the new school you have selected will begin to earn credit. Any credit earned prior to changing your designation will remain with the school originally chosen.
Can my school cancel the program?
Yes, the school principal can elect to cancel the program; however, the school will be required to wait until the annual check presentation in early December of each year to receive any money accrued for your school.
How can I tell my staff, teachers and parents about this program?
This is an important aspect of this program. The more people that participate, the more transactions are processed and the more money your school earns so you’re smart to want to make sure your staff, teachers and parents are participating.
We’ve come up with a few options but we’re open to suggestions if you have others. We can:
- Have a representative of MIDFLORIDA come speak at a PTA or other school related meeting or function to explain the program. (Fundraising is specifically for school use and donated funds cannot be contributed to a PTA or PTO.)
- Provide you with quarterly inserts designed to be sent home with the students to encourage parent participation.
How do I get my school enrolled?
Have your school principal contact Jeanette Wallace, to have the school added to the participant list.
