About Peachjar e-flyers
Like many school districts across the nation, Johnson City Central School District (JCCSD) has discovered that the old practice of sending hard copy flyers home in student backpacks is not as effective in today’s digital world. 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 from the associated school site.
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 extracurricular activities, instead of delivering paperwork to their parents
Information for Community Organizations
Some local school districts have discovered that the old practice of sending hard copy flyers home in student backpacks is not as effective in today’s digital world. Beginning in Spring 2019, the Johnson City Central School District (JCCSD) will begin sending digital flyers directly to parents. The district has contracted with Peachjar to provide this digital e-flyer service.
Peachjar provides an innovative flyer management system that 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. Paper flyers will no longer be distributed.
If you wish to distribute flyers to JCCSD parents, you may register for a Peachjar account as a “Program Provider” and upload your flyer for distribution to your desired schools within JCCSD. Peachjar does charge a fee to Program Providers, but it is significantly less than the cost of printing flyers for our 2,700 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.
Once you create a Peachjar account, you will upload flyers for approval by the district. Please be aware of the district’s Guidelines for Online Flyer Distribution which can be found below. Most importantly, an organization requesting flyer distribution must be a qualified non-profit with proof of non-profit status. The information on the flyer must serve to benefit students and must not interfere, conflict or compete with programs offered by JCCSD. Use of the district’s flyer distribution system shall be under the supervision and control of the Superintendent or designees(s). The district reserves the right to deny any request.
We want to ensure our transition to Peachjar is as easy as possible for our community partners. Please visit https://www.peachjar.com/faqs.html to set up your Peachjar account, and learn how to upload your flyers today.
