For ten years, the Tools for Schools program has helped shoppers like you support the school of their choice just by shopping with their AdantEdge card. Many shoppers like you have registered their AdvantEdge cars to support their chosen school, but over time school closing, school consolidations, and other changes among participating schools have invalidated school selections.

To ensure that shoppers are correctly registered to the school of their choice when the program re-launches on July 31, 2011, shoppers are required to re-enroll in the program, and so in order to continue to earn credit for your school in the upcoming academic year, you need to re-enroll.

Please note: If you registered your card on or after August 1st, 2010, you do not need to re-enroll. You may re-enroll your card to support our school for the 2011-2012 school year starting now.

Enrolling is simple. Go to www2.pricechopper.com/toolsforschools/ and follow the links to Check Your Enrollment and Sign Up. The school code is 15712.
