Distribution of Flyers

  • Electronic Flyer Approval and Distribution Process

    The West Plains School District works with Peachjar to improve our school-to-home communication to deliver digital flyers directly to parents. Instead of schools sending home paper flyers in student backpacks, parents can have digital flyers sent directly to their email and view them on school websites. Flyers can be accessed by clicking on the Peachjar logo found on each school's website. School and district approved digital flyers are designed to keep you informed about upcoming events and programs. Please read our Approval Guidelines below.

    Our district cooperates with community groups and organizations that sponsor educational/enrichment activities for students by distributing materials electronically via Peachjar. As part of our efforts to be more environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology, and maintain fiscal responsibility, we have transitioned from paper to electronic flyer delivery.
     

    FLYER APPROVAL GUIDELINES

    General guidelines for flyer approval are as follows:

    • All flyers are submitted through Peachjar and then reviewed for approval by the communications office.
    • Priority will be given to programs and services based in the West Plains area.
    • Advertised activities must provide students with social, recreational, and educational value.
    • The material must not advocate a religious or a political viewpoint.
    • The material must not discriminate or use offensive language.
    • Materials that solicit funds to support programs or events outside the district may be denied case-by-case. 
    • Advertisements for fee-based services, such as private tutoring, music lessons, etc., will be considered case-by-case.
    • In an effort to keep flyers relevant to all parents and decrease the number of approval requests received, submissions for similar programs and/or services will be considered bi-monthly. Exceptions to this guideline are available for organizations promoting free programs on a case-by-case basis.
    • All flyers to be distributed shall bear the name and contact information of the sponsoring entity.
       

    NOTE: Flyer approval does not constitute endorsement. Approval simply means the material has been reviewed and meets the guidelines for district-wide electronic distribution.

    DISCLAIMER FOR NON-DISTRICT FLYERS:
    The district reserves the right to rescind approval for any organization or person if the organization receives a complaint or if the person is found to be in violation of the Communications Department's posting policy.

    NOTE:  Distribution of flyers submitted by community groups and outside organizations may be delayed to match school communication schedules. These flyers should be submitted at least one (1) week before the preferred distribution date. The communications office will use discretion when the same or similar flyers are submitted multiple times in a short period. A general rule of thumb is that the same or similar flyers will not be approved for distribution to the same audience multiple times within thirty (30) days. The district staff reserves the right to defer repeat flyer distributions within more extended time periods.
