Peachjar for E-flyer Distribution

We are excited to share information about our partnership with Peachjar to help us unite our school, parents, and communities in our collective mission to elevate student outcomes! Peachjar’s platform streamlines school-to-home communication by distributing valuable school and community resources directly to families as digital flyers. By enabling our district to go paperless, Peachjar helps us save thousands of trees each year.
Flyer Distribution Process for Community Organizations

Flyer Distribution Process for Community Organizations

Our district wants families to know about district-approved community programs and resources offered by organizations like yours!
 
Approved local community partners within 25 miles of the district office will not be charged for this service. There are many added benefits to using Peachjar not available with paper flyers—clickable buttons that take parents directly to your website, flyer performance reports, and not to mention the time saved driving school to school!

  • Register your account as a Community Organization on Peachjar.com
  • Contact the Communications Dept at ndiaz@smcsd.org to find out if you qualify as a local organization to post flyers without a fee
  • Go to Post & Notify from your account to submit your flyer for approval

Flyer Distribution Guidelines

Flyer Distribution Guidelines

The District desires to promote positive relationships between the District, schools and the community in order to enhance community partnerships, support, and involvement in the schools.
 
The District will approve electronic flyers from Community Groups and Outside Organizations that meet the following requirements: 
  • They publicize services, special events, public meetings, or other gatherings of interest to students or parents/guardians offered by community-based, non-profit organizations.
  • Information shared is reasonably related to the District’s educational mission and offer learning or enrichment opportunities for children, families and/or staff.
  • Bear the name and contact information of the sponsoring entity.
  • Include the following disclaimer stating that the distribution, posting, or publishing of the materials does not imply district endorsement of the group's activities, products, or services.  
This event/activity/program (choose one) is not sponsored by SMCSD. Approval to distribute flyers is a community service rather than an endorsement."
Prior to the distribution, the District will review the materials and may impose content-based restrictions in order to minimize chances of abuse, the appearance of favoritism and the risk of imposing upon a captive audience. 
 
The District will not accept for distribution, or allow on school property, any materials or advertisements that:
  • Are lewd, obscene, libelous, or slanderous
  • Incite students to commit unlawful acts, violate school rules, or disrupt the orderly operation of the schools
  • Promote any particular political interest, candidate, party, or ballot measure, unless the candidates or advocates from all sides are provided the opportunity to present their views to the students during school hours or during events scheduled pursuant to the Civic Center Act
  • Contain prayer or proselytizing language (flyers informing families of student clubs held in school facilities during non-school hours are allowed).
  • Position the district on any side of a controversial issue
  • Discriminate against, attack, or denigrate any group on account of any unlawful consideration
  • Promote the use or sale of materials or services that are illegal or inconsistent with school objectives, including, but not limited to, materials or advertisements for tobacco, intoxicants, and movies or products unsuitable for children
  • Promote during the school day any food or beverage that does not comply with state nutritional standards pursuant to Education Code 49430-49434.
  • Solicit funds or services for an organization, with the exception of solicitations authorized in Board policy
  • Distribute unsolicited merchandise for which an ensuing payment is requested
  • Require the use of  District/school resources beyond the use of Peachjar platform to assist in the printing, posting, or promotion of non-school material.
 
The District may also consider the educational value of the materials or advertisements, the age or maturity of the students in the intended audience, and whether the materials or advertisements support the basic educational mission of the district, directly benefit the students, or are of intrinsic value to the students or their parents/guardians.
