About
Peachjar is an e-flyer distribution platform that allows families access school-approved flyers from the division and non-profit organizations. This “green” initiative will save our schools significant paper and copy costs. Most importantly, posting school flyers in this electronic backpack removes a significant administrative burden from teachers, office staff and volunteers.
Process
WJCC Schools sends e-flyers directly to families rather than through student distribution. The division has contracted with Peachjar to provide this service and to manage the e-flyer platform.
Peachjar provides a flyer management system that sends school-approved e-flyers directly to families’ inboxes and provides a platform to post those e-flyers online. Now, parents can easily find and view flyers on any device and take action immediately to sign up for activities and events.
To request flyer approval, follow the steps below. Once approved, your flyer will be emailed to all families and posted online. Paper flyers from outside organizations will no longer be distributed.
- Visit peachjar.com
- Register as an Enrichment/Community Org. (account type)
- Upload your flyer for approval (Non-profit organizations are required to upload an IRS-issued Letter of Determination)
Your flyer will be automatically submitted to WJCC Schools. Division staff will review the material and approve or deny based on the below referenced policy.
Peachjar charges a fee for this service that is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school. Non-profit organizations that host completely free events and do not entice participants to join a fee-based program are eligible for free postings. If your non-profit organization fits these criteria please contact Peachjar’s Enrichment Department at (858) 997-2117 or support@peachjar.com.
