About Peachjar Digital Flyers

Like many school districts across the nation, San Carlos School District (SCSD) 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 have to a digital flyer delivery system. The district has contracted with Peachjar to provide digital e-flyer service. Peachjar sends approved flyers directly to parents’ email inboxes 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.

Peachjar has many benefits for parents, students, community organizations, and school staff, including:

  • 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 extra-curricular activities, instead of delivering paperwork to their parents
 

Peachjar Information for Parents 
To view school-approved flyers, simply click the Peachjar button above. No action is required on your part. You will receive a welcome email from our service provider (Peachjar) that includes a username and password. This is provided to give you the opportunity to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. You do not need to login to receive or view school digital flyers. To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add [email protected] (or your district’s selected “from email address”) to your email contacts. When you receive your first e-flyer, be sure to click “always display images.”

This system is used exclusively for the distribution of school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. There is also a button to unsubscribe from Peachjar emails. Keep in mind, if you unsubscribe, you may miss out on important information about school events and opportunities for your child. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well-informed about school programs, activities, and events.

Information for Community Organizations
If you wish to distribute flyers to SCSD parents, you may register for a Peachjar account as a “Program Provider” and upload your flyer for distribution to your desired schools within SCSD. Peachjar charges a fee to Program Providers, but it is significantly less than the cost of printing flyers for our more than 3,000 students. The cost is $25 per school, per flyer, per month with options to purchase bulk rate packages. Peachjar accepts payment with a credit card or through a PayPal account.

Please do not submit a flyer for more than one distribution. If you submit for multiple distributions it will not be approved. Once you create a Peachjar account, you will upload flyers for approval by the district. The information on the flyer must serve to benefit students and must not interfere, conflict, or compete with programs offered by SCSD. Use of the district’s flyer distribution system is under the supervision and control of the Superintendent or designees(s). The district reserves the right to deny any request. Please note that the District approves flyers once a week with distribution days on Mondays and Thursdays.
