Peachjar for Families

We are excited to share information about our partnership with Peachjar to help us unite schools, 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.

Peachjar organizes all-important school and community information in one place! In addition to receiving emails from your school, look for the ‘Peachjar’ button or icon on your school website to view all active flyers.

 

School sites are permitted to approve flyers for distribution to their school community, at the discretion of site administration and in accordance with all laws, rules, and regulations, as established by the State of California and District Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and these guidelines.

Schools are able to electronically post flyers on the school(s) website and email flyers, free of charge, to promote school newsletters, fundraisers, plays, etc.

Schools that would like to request flyer distribution for events and programs that are appropriate for an audience larger than their particular school community may work with the District to request distribution. Please note that fundraisers are limited to the school that it benefits. If fundraisers benefit a larger community, the District may consider distribution to the appropriate zone(s) or perhaps District-wide, as considered appropriate by the District.

School sites may not distribute outside organization flyers. However, school sites may distribute School Connected Organization (SCO) flyers, as long as the guidelines below for SCO are enforced.

 

School Connected Organizations (SCO) may work directly with their school site administration to post electronically and email appropriate flyers to their school community, free of charge. These flyers are posted at the discretion of site administrator, in accordance with all laws, rules, and regulations, as established by the State of California and District Board Policies and Administrative Regulations. In addition, the following disclaimer must be included on flyers:

“Tustin Unified School District neither endorses nor sponsors the organization or activity represented in this material. The District accepts no liability or responsibility for the program/activity. The distribution or display of this material is provided as a community service.”

 

1. An organization requesting flyer distribution must be a qualified nonprofit organization in good standing with the California Secretary of State and/or Internal Revenue Service.

2. The organization requesting the use of the flyer distribution system must be the lead organization hosting, managing, and collecting any fees for the event and therefore must have proof of its own non-profit status.

3. Qualified organizations should visit the District flyer distribution system (Peachjar) to register as an “Enrichment or Community Organization”.

   1. Organizations will upload their IRS non-profit status letter and the flyer that they would like to be considered for distribution.

   2. Organizations will select which school communities they would like the flyer to be distributed to. 

4. Flyers will be automatically submitted to the District. The District will review the information submitted and determine if the request is in accordance with District policy. The District typically reviews flyer posting requests within 7-10 working days, excluding holidays and District observed breaks. Please submit your flyers well in advance for optimal promotion opportunities.

5. Organizations will be notified, through the flyer distribution system (Peachjar), if their flyer was approved, denied or if additional information is required. The flyer may be posted electronically to selected school websites, free of charge.

6. Please note that all flyers must include the following disclaimer:
   “Tustin Unified School District neither endorses nor sponsors the organization or activity represented in this material. The District accepts no liability or responsibility for the program/activity. The distribution or display of this material is provided as a community service.”
