A new electronic flier distribution system launched in February is
reducing the number of paper fliers sent home with students to promote
school and community news, programs, and activities.
Under the new “Peachjar” electronic flier system, families with email
addresses on fi le with the Puyallup School District automatically
receive approved fliers sent electronically to their email inboxes.
Parents only receive fliers that relate to their children’s schools
or to the district as a whole. They may also opt out of receiving the
email messages by unsubscribing at the bottom of the email message or
logging on to the Peachjar website and managing flier delivery
preferences.
Distributing fliers electronically is a more efficient and
environmentally friendly way of communicating with parents compared to
sending printed paper fliers home, said Brian Fox, executive director of
communications, information, and arts education.
In addition to being sent to families via email, approved fliers are posted on school and district Peachjar Web pages.
To view district- and school-approved fliers, scroll to the bottom of
the school district Home page or any of the district’s 32 school Web
pages and click the button (computer icon) that features the image of a
peach.
Approved fliers for some of the district’s specialty programs,
including Puyallup Digital Learning, are also accessible by clicking the
peach icon near the bottom of the page.
Paper copies of approved fliers will continue to be available upon
request in school offices to serve families that don’t have access to
email or other electronic device applications.
The Peachjar system is free to district staff, school staff, and
authorized parent groups such as PTA for the distribution of
noncommercial, school-related fliers.
Nonprofit community organizations may also post a school-related
flier without charge provided the flier contains information about a
community event that is held without charge to attendees and does not
lead to a participation fee or serve as an enticement to buy products or
services.
