ABOUT PEACHJAR E-FLYERS

Like many school districts across the nation, Centralia Elementary School District has discovered that the old practice of sending hard copy flyers home in student backpacks is not as effective in today’s digital world. As part of our ongoing commitment to be more environmentally-friendly and to ensure parents have quick and easy access to important information, we are transitioning to a digital flyer delivery system. The district has contracted with Peachjar to provide a digital e-flyer service. Peachjar sends approved flyers directly to parents’ email inbox and posts them online on all school websites. With Peachjar, parents can easily find and view flyers, and take action immediately to sign up for activities and events. All flyers may be accessed by clicking on the Peachjar button placed on all school site home pages

The benefits of Peachjar for parents, students, community organizations, & school staff, include:

keeps parents informed about school activities and community events/resources
saves trees by reducing the amount of paper printed
reduces copy costs by thousands of dollars
removes the administrative burden from teachers, office staff, and volunteers of making copies and stuffing backpacks
ensures students stay focused on important academic and extracurricular activities, instead of delivering paperwork to their parents

FLYER GUIDELINES and FLYER POLICY

COMMUNITY FREE FLYER POLICY

Peachjar's Community Free Flyer Posting Program was created to allow local community organizations to distribute their digital flyers to nearby schools at no cost when promoting a free event or activity that does not encourage participants to join a fee-based program, provided that nothing is offered for sale by the community organization at the event/program, and there is no encouragement or solicitation to purchase goods or services in the future. To ensure flyers are relevant to all parents and to decrease approval requests received by districts, PeachJar limits organizations using Community Free flyer distribution to one posting every 30 days for up to 25 schools.

Local community organizations can continue to promote various free programs by consolidating their flyers into a single, multi-page flyer. Also, organizations such as cities can have multiple Community Free accounts that are department-specific, and create Community Free accounts for their local branches (e.g. libraries).

Organizations interested in requesting a Community Free account must contact PeachJar directly by phone, “Contact Us” web request, or via online chat. Upon receipt of the request, PeachJar will ask the organization to provide the following information that is used to evaluate its qualification for a Community Free account:

To which schools in the Centralia Elementary School District do you wish to distribute your flyer?
What is the exact number of schools to which you wish to distribute your flyer?
Are all events you distribute flyers about free, or do some encourage payment of future fees, have paid services, or include vendor participation? (Some organizations may need both a standard paid account and a Community Free account to meet their needs.)
What is the email address associated to your PeachJar account?
Please provide a copy of your flyer for review.

Requests for exceptions to this policy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. PeachJar reserves the exclusive right to make all determinations regarding the acceptance of each Community Free flyer posting request, and the authorization of each organization requesting a Community Free account.
For additional information about our Community Free program, please contact PeachJar at 877-402-1786 or email [email protected]
